EDINBURGH, Ind. (WISH) — A semitractor-trailer driver suffered a head injury when the vehicle rolled over Thursday night, the Bartholomew County Sheriff’s Office reported Friday afternoon.

A lane of I-65 northbound was restricted for several hours to unpack the semi’s load of 40,000 pounds of fabric softener. The laundry goods did not leak into the median, a sheriff’s office news release says.

The crash happened about 7:20 p.m. Thursday near the U.S. 31 interchange, perhaps best known as the I-65 exit for Indiana Premium Outlets mall.

The semi driver required medical attention. The driver was not identified in the release from the sheriff’s office.
