AMMA -- According to Roane County 911, a tractor-trailer rolled onto its side near the 22 mile marker and Amma exit around 8:30 p.m. Thursday.

Dispatchers said witnesses helped the driver from the truck, and the driver was not transported to the hospital.

The road was completely closed for a short time, but one lane was open while crews unloaded the truck.

State police troopers and sheriff's deputies were on the scene investigating.
