Northbound State Route 167 on-ramp from State Route 516 was fully closed due to the collision.
The right two lanes on northbound SR 167 at SR 516 were also blocked, due to debris and soil spilled from the truck.
Emergency crews worked the scene, but by 2:30 p.m. there was no estimated time of reopening.
Drivers should expect delays in the area.
