A pickup truck had rolled on the left side of the east-bound lane, coming to rest on it’s roof, and shattering some windows.

A semi-trailer was parked near the pickup, but there was room for traffic to slowly pass to the right of the vehicles.

Paramedics, police, and firefighters responded to the scene, and one man appeared to be under examination by emergency crews.
