UPDATE: I-43 traffic flow back to normal
TURTLE TOWNSHIP--Traffic no longer needs to be detoured off Interstate 43, near mile marker 2 at Hart Road, near Beloit in Rock County.
Traffic flow was restored in both the northbound and southbound lanes at 1 p.m., according to the Wisconsin State Patrol.
Earlier today, traffic in both lanes of the Interstate were detoured onto the Hart Road exit, in Turtle Township, due to a semi rollover shortly before 7 a.m. today that blocked traffic on the road's overpass, according to the Wisconsin State Patrol.
The driver of the truck was pinned, sawdust was spilling out of the trailer and a wrecker was called to scene. The Wisconsin State Patrol, Beloit EMS and Turtle Township fire personnel also were on scene, according to a spokeswoman at the Rock County Communications Center.
Traffic was detoured for six hours, according to the Wisconsin State Patrol.
