A semi truck that rolled over on the southbound lanes of U.S. 23 at Interstate 96 in Livingston County slowed traffic Monday afternoon.
The semi rolled over near the eastbound I-96 ramp around 2:40 p.m., according to the Michigan State Police.
The driver suffered unknown injuries and was taken to a nearby hospital.
