KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A semi tractor-trailer hauling a load of bananas overturned Wednesday, blocking all lanes of Interstate 635 northbound in Kansas City, Kansas.

Video from Skytracker, the 41 Action News helicopter, shows the semi blocking the northbound lanes of I-635 just north of the Interstate 70 interchange.

A pair of adjacent ramps also were blocked while crews worked to upright the semi.

There were no injuries in the crash.

Authorities reopened one lane of traffic on I-635 around 4:45 p.m. It was nearly four hours before the Kansas Highway Patrol tweeted that the road had completely reopened.
