Fire crews and Austin Travis County Emergency Medical Services were called to the East Ben White Boulevard and South Congress Avenue roundabout after 11 a.m. The extrication process took less than 25 minutes, although it is unclear how many semi-occupants there were and if they were injured or needed to go to local hospitals.
Additional information from CBS Austin showed that the yellow semi-truck was completely overturned on its side and was blocking a U-turn lane. It’s unclear when the scene will be cleared and when all lanes will reopen.
More details will be posted as our newsroom learns more.
