OVERTURNED TRUCK SNARLS I40 TRAFFIC THURSDAY AFTERNOON
Interstate 40 at the 359-and-a-half-mile marker eastbound saw delays for several hours Thursday afternoon due to a tractor-trailer that overturned around 2:00 pm. Sources on the scene said the driver was doing okay but needed to be checked out by medical personnel. The truck was loaded with gravel and posed no chemical threat outside of the spilling fuel tanks. The truck appeared to overturn and plow over the guardrail.
The interstate was down to one lane backing up traffic for miles until the cleanup was completed at about 9 pm.
