The rig  flipped onto its side, blocking interstate traffic. I-80 Westbound was shut down and traffic was diverted until just before 6-a.m.  The 36-year old driver (Sentheepan Thirunavukkarasu), from Ontario, CN, suffered minor injuries but refused treatment. He was cited for Failure to Maintain Control.
