COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

State Road M is back open after it was closed for several hours following a crash with a semi-truck.

Callaway County Sheriff's Office said in a social media post that State Road M in Callaway County was closed north of Interstate 70 and south of Hatton-McCredie School.

The road was closed for several hours while tow companies worked to remove a semi-truck that was carrying anhydrous ammonia.

North Callaway County Fire Chief Matt Walton told ABC 17 News the road reopened just after 7 p.m.

Some bus routes for North Callaway R1 were adjusted because of the closure.

Callaway County deputies, North Callaway County Fire Protection District and the Missouri State Highway Patrol were on scene for traffic control and safety.

The driver was not reported to be hurt.
