The truck, carrying scrap metal, was transitioning from the 405 North to the 710 South when it overturned and landed on its side, trapping the driver. One o the truck's gas tanks ruptured and spilled diesel onto the road. Firefighters were dispatched around 10:30am and spent ten minutes cutting the truck to free the driver. He was transported to a hospital. No other vehicles were involved and no one else was injured. The exchange has been reopened but was closed for several hours. The cause of the accident is being investigated.
