A semi-truck overturned blocking one lane of traffic on eastbound 285.

Officials have said that the driver of the 18-wheeler was traveling at a high speed when the 18-wheeler tried to stop and could not stop in time. This caused the semi to lock up and tip over in front of a pickup truck.

Both drivers only suffered minor injuries, but were still taken to the hospital to be examined. Rescue workers had to upright the truck, removed the cargo and offload a 150 gallons of diesel fuel.
