A big rig truck rolled over on Thursday morning on Interstate 95 in Reading, Massachusetts, officials said, snarling traffic into the morning commute.

The truck crash happened on the northbound side of I-95 as it approached Exit 57, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation said. Lanes had to be closed following the crash, and at one point, traffic had to get by via the breakdown lane.

By around 8 a.m., crews had finished clearing the wreck and state police said the highway was fully reopened by just before 9:30 a.m.

They said the crash was in Reading. Earlier, the Department of Transportation said the crash was in Wakefield.

The driver was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. Officials didn't immediately share what's suspected to have caused the crash.

Drivers were warned to expect delays if they were commuting through the area.
