SUFFOLK, Va. — Emergency crews were on part of Route 58 Wednesday after a tractor-trailer that was carrying stones overturned.
It happened shortly before 12:45 p.m., and Suffolk Fire & Rescue tweeted about the incident at 1:40 p.m.
The location of the overturned tractor-trailer was Route 58 West at Pruden Boulevard. Crews said the rig had 50 gallons of fuel on board and that they were working to take care of a leak.
Aerial pictures shared by Suffolk Fire & Rescue in another tweet showed the tractor-trailer on its side and along the side of the roadway. The container holding the stones appeared to have separated from the frame of the trailer and the hood of the cab was in an open position.
One picture showed the resulting backup caused by the shutdown of the road.
Thursday morning, a spokesman for the city said one lane of the road would have to close at 9:30 a.m. and stay closed for about four hours while crews removed a box container that was still stuck in the median of Route 58.
The driver of the tractor-trailer had minor injuries. Suffolk Fire & Rescue assessed and released him.
