A semi rollover at the intersection of Albert Street North and Ring Road was causing delays Monday morning.

A two-trailer semi carrying gravel was traveling southbound on Albert Street around 9:35 a.m. and tried to exit onto Ring Road East around 9:35 a.m. , according to police. The driver hit the outer edge of the road and tipped over trying to correct the drift.

Dirt spilled onto the roadway and blocked Albert Street for several hours. The driver wasn’t injured in the rollover, but police say he will be charged with undue care and attention.

The truck was upright by 11:20 a.m. and police say they hope to have the roadway clear of dirt by noon.
