No one was injured, but a highway was blocked in Cooper County temporarily on Monday when a tractor-trailer rolled onto its side.

The truck rolled on Highway 179 near Big Lick Road, south of Wooldridge, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol. The road was blocked for more than 30 minutes while the truck was moved.

The Patrol posted photos of the truck on social media, showing the front windshield had been removed. It wasn't immediately clear what caused the truck to roll, or what it was carrying.
