All lanes have reopened after a semi-truck carrying dirt flipped on its side and spilled its load on State Route 202 (SR 202) Friday morning.

As a result of the accident, all westbound lanes on SR 202 were blocked. The truck was located at milepost 10 between Redmond and Sammamish.

Both police and fire personnel responded to the scene to provide additional assistance.
