A semitrailer truck exiting from one highway in Bloomington to another Sunday morning fell onto a ramp below, authorities said.
The crash occurred where Hwy. 169 and Interstate 494 intersect, according to the Fire Department.
The semi was leaving northbound Hwy. 169 for eastbound I-494 when it tumbled down about 8:20 a.m., fire officials said.
The driver was taken by ambulance from the scene with noncritical injuries.
The wreckage kept the ramp from Marth Road to eastbound I-494 closed for more than three hours.
