MSP said the truck was on its side when they arrived, but no one was inside as it blocked the left two lanes.

No other vehicles were involved, but the freeway was partially blocked for cleanup.

“The speed limit on the Southfield is 55 for a reason. We see a lot of crashes on that freeway due to speed,” said F/Lt Mike Shaw. “This crash is no different. This driver was going too fast and lost control. While the slowdowns are inconvenient, at least no one was hurt.”
