An overturned semi-truck blocked traffic Friday morning on Interstate 35 in Olathe.
The incident took place about 9:20 a.m. in the northbound lanes near the East Santa Fe Street exit, according to Kansas City Scout.
Olathe police said drivers should exit at Santa Fe and use an alternate route while northbound I-35 from Santa Fe to 119th Street was closed.
The crash backed up traffic for about three miles.
KC Scout estimated the crash would be cleared about 11 a.m.
It’s unclear what led up to the truck overturning.
