KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A separated trailer caused traffic headaches along I-70 Tuesday morning. 

Police and fire blocked off the left two lanes of eastbound traffic at the Jackson curve as crews worked to remove a trailer that had disconnected and turned sideways on the interstate. 

No serious injuries were reported, but the road was backed up for about an hour.

It wasn't immediately clear what caused the trailer to disconnect or if the driver would be cited.
