A truck driver is okay after crashing and rolling his scrap-hauler in Johnson County on Wednesday afternoon.

The crash was on Highway 67 underneath I-35.

Officials say the trailer of the rig was full of scrap metal that spilled all over the lanes of Hwy 67 when it tipped over on its right side. The cause is unclear.

It took several hours for the clean-up and to remove the wreckage but 67 was reopened by mid-afternoon.
