GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- Cleanup operations from a jackknifed took about four hours Friday morning, with traffic jammed up from 6 a.m. to 9 :30 a.m.

The semi crashed around 5:30 a.m. Friday in the  southbound lanes of US-131 at I-196 in Grand Rapids.

The right two lanes were blocked and crews had to clean up a large area of spilled diesel fuel.

An axle with the wheels still attached sat next to the center wall until a wrecker was able to use its crane to move it so that another truck could carry it away.

No word on injuries.
