A semi overturned on I-75 Saturday causing traffic delays and back-ups for hours.

A semi with all 18 wheels in the air is a rare sight even for seasoned firefighters. The semi was exiting I-75 north at exit 11 when it somehow skidded off the ramp and overturned. The driver was not hurt.

The semi was carrying 40,000 pounds of yard, which took firefighters hours to unload and put into another trailer.

James Privett, the Williamsburg Fire Chief says he's never seen anything like this before.

The scene is now clear.
