A box truck rolled over on northbound State Route 87 Tuesday morning closing the SR in both directions.

The driver of the box truck had to be air lifted to a valley hospital, according to the Arizona Department of Public Safety. The evacuation closed SR 87 in both directions for a short time.

DPS was able to reopen the southbound lanes and one lane going northbound. DPS said that the second lane should reopen within the next hour.

No other cars were involved with the accident.
