SYCAMORE TOWNSHIP, Ohio — Some southbound lanes of I-71 near Montgomery Road have reopened after a semi-truck crashed and overturned on the roadway, shutting down the interstate for more than 10 hours on Thursday.
The Hamilton County Sheriff's Office said they responded to a two-vehicle crash, including a semi-truck and a car, around midnight.
A deputy told us that nothing spilled onto the roadway, just cargo from the semi-truck.
Hamilton County dispatch said the truck "may be carrying a food product," but Matt Bruning with the Ohio Department of Transportation posted on social media Thursday morning that the overturned semi is a truck carrying cheese.
Don’t want you to Swiss this important update about a cheese truck crash. We are bleu that we don’t have an ETA for reopening yet. Once they get the truck upright, things should get cheddar and hopefully clean up will be a Brie-zze. Colby get any other cheese puns in? No. https://t.co/Mc34AEKjkj

According to the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office, there are no injuries. The roadway took so long to reopen due to how the semi was positioned on the road.
