The incident occurred just before 10am on Wednesday and is affecting traffic in both directions. Westbound lanes remained closed at 12.30pm and one of two eastbound lanes are also closed.
The semi-trailer, carrying a scrap steel load, lost control and rolled near Minmi Road. Two ambulance crews were called to the scene. The male driver suffered only minor injuries and did not require hospitalisation.

Eastbound traffic is also heavy due to queuing approaching the crash.
