The trailer overturned and went down an embankment on Limecrest Road in Andover Township around 4:40 p.m., the local police department said.

A detour was put into place as heavy duty wreckers from three companies were called to the scene to help upright the tractor-trailer due its size and embankment angle, police said.

No injuries were reported, and the road was reopened by 9:20 p.m., the township's volunteer fire company said.

Assisting agencies include the Andover Township Fire Department, Lakeland EMS and D&E Service Center.

The crash remains under investigation by the Andover Township Police Department.
