A truck hauling chum salmon overturned Monday afternoon, July 25, 2016, on to its driver-side in the southbound lanes of Egan Drive, just south of Highland Drive. Several large totes of fish spilled near the intersection and the median, including the left northbound lane of Egan.
Police temporarily redirected southbound Egan traffic to Glacier Highway and reduced the northbound traffic to a single lane, with a traffic control officer signaling traffic.
Onlookers watched from the sidewalk as Taku Fisheries workers hand packed the overturned cargo back into the totes, many taking photos with their cellphones and talking about the accident.
The driver was taken to Bartlett Regional Hospital, and the driver was treated and released, KTOO reported.
Egan Drive was fully opened by 7 p.m.
The load weight was between 10,000 and 16,000 pounds, according to police estimates.
