SUFFOLK, Va. - Suffolk Police and Suffolk Fire & Rescue units responded to a crash involving an overturned tractor trailer Monday.

Suffolk Fire & Rescue crews provided emergency medical assessment and treatment to individuals in one of the involved vehicles, including two adults and one child, who sustained minor injuries.

Officials say the truck driver is currently being evaluated for any possible injuries.

The road is now open to travel after being closed for hours.

The cause of the accident remains under investigation.
