UPDATE:

The accident did not involve a second vehicle. The driver of the log truck is injured and being transported to the hospital. His injuries do not appear to be life threatening.

Expect the exit ramp to be closed for several hours as the logs and the log truck are cleared from the roadway.

Original story:
