A semi-truck roll over accident took place on Interstate 90 Monday morning, blocking traffic for more than three hours.

According to Washington State Troopers, the driver of the semi, Steven Isaak, an Ellensburg resident was uninjured.

The crash happened around 7:50 a.m. just 24 miles west of Cle Elum.

Isaak was driving west in his tractor-trailer semi when he lost control causing the semi to cross the median and finally stop on the eastbound lanes. One lane was blocked.

Isaak was given a ticket for driving too fast for conditions. He was wearing his seatbelt and was not driving under the influence.

According to statistics from the United States Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Association (NHTSA) and Federal Highway Administrations (FHWA), vehicles driving 10 miles per hour above or below the listed speed limit are almost 6 times more likely to be involved in a car accident.
