'The driver, an Auburn woman, stated the trailer began to sway. 

'The driver was unable to gain control. The trailer overturned and landed on its top in the left lane.'

Hodgson said dump trucks were at the scene collecting the debris of what was left of the tractor trailer while the area was temporarily closed off.

'Appreciate the patience during the delay,' she added on her Twitter page.

Hodgson followed up once more around 6:30pm Tuesday to confirm SR-3 had re-opened.
