Authorities said a semi-truck carrying water was rear-ended by another semi-truck. All the water from the first truck spilled on to the interstate.
The impact caused the cab of the second semi-truck to rollover.
The driver of the first semi was uninjured. The driver of the second semi was able to crawl out of the overturned cab. He was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Police said charges are pending further investigation of the crash.
