MCLEANSBORO – A semi hauling mulch overturned around 6:45 Tuesday morning on Illinois 14 just west of County Road 1100 East in McLeansboro.

The semi driver overcorrected bringing the semi back onto the roadway. The semi began traveling toward a ditch on the opposite side of Illinois 14. As it started down into the ditch, both the semi and its trailer overturned spilling mulch onto the roadway.

The semi driver reported no injuries, refused medical attention and was cited for improper lane usage.

The roadway was reduced to one lane for cleanup until 2:30 p.m. when it reopened.
