A wreck involving an overturned truck tied up traffic Monday morning on Highway 101 in Carpinteria, the California Highway Patrol reported.

The accident occurred shortly after 7 a.m. on the northbound freeway at Santa Monica Road, according to CHP dispatch.

The vehicle was a box truck reportedly loaded with produce, the CHP said, adding that several other vehicles also were involved.

Officers dispatched to the scene found the truck on its side, and two lanes of the freeway were blocked while they investigated and cleared the wreckage.

An ambulance was dispatched but it was not immediately known whether there were any injuries.
