GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — US-131, one of West Michigan's busiest freeways, was closed Wednesday just before noon after a crash.

The northbound lanes of US-131 were shut down at Ann Street after a semi truck turned over and came to rest across the lanes.

The semi truck driver was trying to avoid what Michigan State Police called "heavy debris" in the road, but the truck still hit the debris and landed on its side.
