Crews responded to an injury accident Monday near U.S. 36 Highway and Southwest Parkway after a cement truck rolled over an embankment and the driver was injured.

The St. Joseph Police Department issued an alert to drivers around noon to avoid Southwest Parkway from Duncan to Fairview Golf Course due to lane closures because of the accident.  One lane on 36 Highway was also closed.

The driver was transported by ambulance to the hospital.  A witness on scene said the driver appeared to be conscious and moving when he was placed in the ambulance.

Crews are trying to pull the cement truck back up the embankment.
