A trucker carrying motor oil rolled his semitrailer onto its side Monday morning, creating delays for motorists traveling north on Interstate 65 about five miles south of Seymour.

The wreck, which involved a semitrailer owned by Louisville, Ky.-based Mister P Express Inc. was reported at 7:37 a.m. Monday. The truck was hauling motor oil destined for O’Reilly Auto Parts stores.

State Trooper Jason Duncan investigated the wreck but was not available for comment Monday as cleanup at the scene continued into the late afternoon.
