A tractor-trailer loaded with cheese crashed on Interstate 70 westbound on the west side of Boonville on Thursday, closing the road temporarily.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol said the injury crash happened at the 102-mile marker near the Ashley Road exit in Boonville. Crews were working late Thursday afternoon to clean up the cheese after the crash.
The trailer’s walls were destroyed, leaving the cargo visible to passing drivers.
The closed lanes of Interstate 70 were reopened Thursday afternoon, but traffic continued to move slowly through the area at about 5:30 p.m.
