BUCKEYE, AZ (CBS5) -

A tractor-trailer carrying flooring materials overturned early Wednesday morning, closing one eastbound lane for nearly three hours in Buckeye.

The semi was carrying carpet, tile and wood flooring when it rolled just before 2 a.m. near the Johnson Road exit, according to an Arizona Department of Public Safety spokesman.

Crews had to transfer the truck's load before it could be tipped upright. All lanes were reopened just before 5 a.m.

DPS has not determined the cause of the crash.
