It was reported by police that the transport truck blocked both eastbound and westbound lanes and sent debris flying everywhere. 

Only minor injuries were reported as a result of the accident.

However, the driver of the SUV was later charged with impaired driving after refusing to provide a breath sample. 

Cleanup efforts were extensive and eastbound lanes did not reopen until around 9:00 a.m. on Friday morning. 

The clearing process was hindered by overnight snowfall, which required the use of snowplows.

Police stated that the investigation is ongoing.
