CHARLOTTE, N.C. — One person is seriously hurt after a semi-truck overturned on a busy ramp in north Charlotte early Tuesday morning.
The crash happened around 2 a.m. on the ramp from Interstate 85 south to Interstate 77 south.

Officials said one person was taken to the hospital, but is expected to be OK.
It is unclear how the crash happened, but it is a congested area and caused back-ups on the roads Tuesday morning.
