A tanker truck carrying liquid asphalt overturned on North Washington Street in Vicksburg.
Police say the truck, carrying liquid asphalt, was headed north on Washington Street, near the Ergon Plant.
Sources tell WLBT the 46-year-old driver of the truck was airlifted to UMC with a fractured skull.
Authorities say the accident happened when the driver made a turn that was too narrow.
WLBT does not know at this time if the contents of the tanker have been unloaded.
The road could be closed once a crane is on scene to get the truck upright again.
The driver is from Shreveport, La.
