Thursday morning traffic was disrupted when a semi trailer rolled on its side on North Padre Island Drive near Bates Street.

The white 1999 International Harvester Company truck tractor pulled a 48-year-old trailer through a curve. The 48,000 pound load, held by six 5,000 pound limit straps, shifted and bent the frame of the trailer. The load scraped the asphalt roadway for several feet until the trailer rolled to the side.

No injuries were reported and no other vehicles were involved in the crash. The operator of the truck tractor did not receive a citation for any violations. The road was re-opened for normal use at 10:40am.
