The SUV was traveling fast and the driver slammed on the brakes as it approached a vehicle making a left turn, police said. As the SUV overturned to the right, the trailer went into the oncoming lane and was hit by the truck, police said. The turning vehicle was not involved in the crash, police added.
Since the report was not complete, police would not release the drivers' names.
The highway was closed until just before noon between Anderson and Clinton roads.
