A tractor-trailer unit spilled a load of vehicles Friday morning, blocking both lanes of U.S. 7 in Charlotte, Vermont State Police said.

The incident occurred in the area of Wildwood Road, police wrote in a news release. The road was open again by 12:14 p.m.

There were no injuries, said State Police Cpl. Andrew Leise. At least two cars had come off the trailer and had been towed away as of late Friday morning.

The truck was headed southbound on U.S. 7 when it went off the west side of the road, where the shoulder is narrow, Cpl. Leise said.

The cause of the crash is under investigation, and the driver of the truck was being interviewed by state police and representatives of the Department of Motor Vehicles on Friday.

State police, the Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles and Charlotte Fire Department initially responded to the scene at about 9:53 a.m., according to the news release.

A photo shared by Kelly Hargett Quinlan shows the trailer blocking both lanes perpendicular to the flow of traffic.
