An accident is all clear, after it slowed down traffic on 1-16 this morning.

Twiggs County sheriff's deputies and Georgia State Patrol say an accident Tuesday involving an overturned tractor trailer had traffic moving slowly on I-16 as of 7 a.m. 

A Twiggs County dispatcher says the truck flipped over into the median at mile marker 15, shortly after 5a.m., sending the driver to a local hospital.

Officials say the trailer was loaded with heavy steel, and crews had to flip it back into an upright position.
