LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A semi-rollover crash shut down the ramp from Interstate 264 eastbound to Interstate 71 northbound for several hours Tuesday morning.

According to LMPD spokesperson Aaron Ellis, officers responded to a call for a motor vehicle collision involving a commercial vehicle around 1:45 a.m. Tuesday.

Emergency crews arrived within minutes, according to Ellis. 

The driver, who was the only occupant in the cab, was not injured.

The roadway opened back up around 6:30 a.m.
