Emergency personnel responded at noon Wednesday to a semi tractor-trailer rollover on the Palmer Road ramp to northbound Route 3 in Columbia.

The driver of the 2018 Freightliner hauling a non-hazardous shipping container, 28-year-old Anwar Alshawi of St. Louis, was transported by Columbia EMS to Mercy Hospital South in St. Louis County for treatment of unspecified injuries.

Police believe Alshawi was traveling too fast when attempting a turn onto the ramp and lost control of the truck.

Petroff Towing was contacted for heavy duty towing of the semi. The roadway was reopened to regular traffic shortly before 1:15 p.m.
