KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Southbound Interstate 35 at Chouteau Trafficway in the Northland is back open after a semi overturned and spilled grains on the highway Saturday afternoon.

The accident occurred just before 2:50 p.m. and closed the highway until around 3:35 p.m.

Crews then let traffic in the right lane get through for about two hours as they worked on clearing the semi and the grains from the highway.

After clearing the left two lanes of the highway, crews shut down the right lane for close to an hour.

The highway has since fully reopened.

The driver of the semi has minor injuries, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
