PIONEER, TN (WLAF)- In the wee hours of Sunday morning, a big rig overturned backing up I-75 travelers for quite a while.

On the southbound side of the interstate, an 18-wheeler loaded with pumpkins flipped on its top at 2:15am. The incident occurred at Mile Marker 141.6, just before you get to Huntsville-Oneida Exit 141.

There were no injuries, and traffic was forced into one lane for almost 12 hours.
