A trailer carrying cabbages crashed on Interstate 10 downtown near Martin Street on Sunday, prompting crews to block an entrance to the highway's westbound lane as they cleaned debris.

Police officers and firefighters responded to the apparent rollover about 11:30 a.m.

Crews remained at the scene at 1:30 p.m. picking up cabbage heads and crates that spilled onto the road and under the highway. An officer at the scene said they would likely remain for several more hours.

The driver of the 18-wheeler was said to be doing fine, and was "just a little banged up" during the crash, the officer said.
