KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. -- An overturned tractor-trailer is blocking a busy highway on-ramp in King of Prussia.

It happened around 5:30 a.m. Thursday on the ramp from the eastbound Schuylkill Expressway to Route 202 North.

Police tell Action News the tractor-trailer carrying newspapers overturned on the ramp.

Images from Chopper 6 HD over the scene after daybreak showed hundreds of papers spilled out of the top of the truck, which was marked "New York Times."

There was no immediate word if the driver was hurt.

The ramp, which is located near the Valley Forge toll plaza of the Pennsylvania Turnpike, was expected to be blocked for some time as crews worked to right the truck and remove it.

Motorists were being advised to seek alternate routes.
