After several hours of clean-up work, all lanes were released again.

The Arizona Department of Public Safety says the injuries are minor.

“A concrete truck drifted to the right, another vehicle collided before it hit a barrier, then crossed all lanes and then overturned,” said DPS. “A third vehicle hit the concrete truck.”

The driver of the concrete truck was hospitalized with minor injuries along with the driver of the third vehicle.

The rolled over truck blocked the HOV and left the lane in both directions.
