NEW: Truck overturns on N. Arlington street after collision with SUV

A box truck has overturned on a residential North Arlington street.

The crash happened just after 11 a.m. at the intersection of N. Lexington Street and 22nd Street N., on the border of the Leeway-Overlee and Tara-Leeway Heights neighborhoods, south of Langston Blvd. It appeared to involve a truck collecting donations for the Vietnam Veterans of America and a BMW sport utility vehicle.

Initial reports suggest that the truck driver was treated by medics on scene after suffering minor injuries.

N. Lexington Street is currently blocked by police, though a local resident who was out walking her dog is attempting to direct traffic.
