The truck rolled over the median of the highway, resulting in closures in both directions. I-91 North remained open with one lane, but I-91 South was fully closed while responders worked to move the vehicle and clean up liquid that was seen to be leaking from it.
One lane of I-91 South reopened after just 25 minutes. The highway then had to be closed again for 15 minutes shortly after 1:00 p.m. as work continued to remove the truck from the roadway.
As of 6:33 p.m, there are still lanes closed on the highway and motorists may experience delays, but another full closure is not anticipated.
