A tractor trailer rollover on 490 East near Alexander Street on Monday morning tied up traffic for a while and left a big mess on the highway.

A truck carrying many heads of cabbage flipped over just after 6:30 a.m.  State Police say the driver suffered minor injuries and was taken to Strong Hospital for treatment.

The accident blocked all the eastbound lanes, but traffic was getting through, slowly, on the shoulder .

The westbound side of 490 in that area had 2 lanes blocked because of emergency equipment, and traffic was slow getting into downtown.

There's no word on on a cause for the accident.
