The dump truck was not carrying a load at the time, and appears to be the only vehicle that crashed. A big-rig tow truck was called to the scene to upright the truck and clear it from the road.

A Sig-alert was issued at 6:03 p.m. advising motorists that the road was closed and that traffic was diverted around the area. It was cancelled at 6:45 p.m.
