A semi truck crash in Overland Park on US-69 closed part of the highway Tuesday night. 

Police were called to Highway 69 at 151st Street around 7:30 p.m. after a semi truck crossed lanes into oncoming traffic and collided with several vehicles. 

The wreck caused the semi truck to overturn while one vehicle hit a bridge. The highway was blocked off due to possible damage to the bridge. 

The semi truck had to be unloaded before KDOT could clear the scene. 

Part of the semi truck had been separated as a result of the crash. Cleanup of the collision took over nine hours to clear.

Northbound lanes of US-69 have been reopened. No injuries were reported.
