OAK HILL, Fla. -- Traffic has been flowing smoothly in both direction on Interstate 95, but that wasn't the case for the better part of the day when a tractor-trailer overturned on the south-bound side in Oak Hill and causing the south-bound lanes to be closed for more than 6 hours.

The mishap occurred just after 9 a.m. with the overturned rig and its payload spilling sheetrock and oil onto the interstate near the Brevard County line. Traffic had to be rerouted through secondary roads for the massive clean-up that ensued for the better part of the morning and mid-afternoon.
