Drivers on the inner loop of the Capital Beltway should expect delays throughout the Wednesday morning rush hour due to an overturned semi tractor-trailer.

Police say the driver of the tractor-trailer swerved to avoid a car, and the truck flipped. The accident is near River Road, and crews were working to clean up the scene Wednesday morning.

The truck was reported to be carrying boxes of garbage bags.

The truck will not be righted until after 9 a.m., according to officials. Expect major delays.
