An overturned semi on Friday afternoon blocked traffic for several hours near the Love's Truck Stop at the Interstate 29 and Highway 169 interchange.
The incident occurred around 3:45 p.m. A semi pulling a trailer exited southbound I-29 and attempted to turn north onto 169.
"The driver of the semi did not slow down," St. Joseph Police sergeant Brett Kelley said. "As he came down the ramp, he struck another vehicle and overturned the semi, causing to block the south bound lanes of 169."
Both drivers were taken to the hospital with minor injuries, according to Sergeant Kelley. Citations will be issued, but haven't been yet as the accident remains under investigation.
As of 6:45 p.m. Friday, crews were still out on the road, trying to clear the scene and re-open the road.
