UPDATE 2/20/13 @ 6:20 p.m.
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A log truck accident on Interstate 64 caused chaos during the morning commute across the Kanawha Valley.

The truck rolled over about 3:30 a.m. Wednesday, spilling logs onto the eastbound lanes near the Oakwood Road exit.

The accident closed the eastbound lanes of I-64 for almost six hours.

“It's the worst kind of accident you can have because they're all over the place. It's just hard trying to get them cleaned up,” Brian Jones with the Charleston Police Department said.

“It took me about an hour to get to work today,” Michael Gregg of St. Albans said.

Gregg's morning commute only takes about 15 minutes most days.

He doesn't take the interstate, but because nobody else could either, all roads leading east into the city were backed up for miles.

“It looked like a parking lot -- bumper to bumper,” Gregg said. “No matter which way you came from St. Albans, it was bumper to bumper.”

Because the accident happened overnight, the cleanup took longer than usual.

“We just had a hard time pulling the resources to get that stuff out of the road quickly,” WVDOT spokesperson Brent Walker said. “We had hoped that we could have cleaned that up and kept traffic moving before seven, but it didn't happen that way.”

So the WVDOT put a plan into action: using digital signs, the 511 system and social media to inform drivers about the crash and what detours to take.

“Any way you slice it, though, because it was the morning rush hour and you had people coming into the city, you were in for some delays,” Walker said.

“I'm sure they did the best they could possibly do given the situation,” Gregg said.

All eastbound lanes finally reopened about 9 a.m. Wednesday.

The driver of the log truck suffered minor injuries from the crash. Police say it is possible he could be cited for failing to maintain his truck.

The interstate has been closed since 3:30 a.m.

Kanawha County 911 Dispatchers say a log truck overturned and lost its load near the Oakwood exit.

No one was hurt in the accident, but it took crews nearly six hours to clear the road.

The interstate reopened about 9:30 a.m. Wednesday.

The accident was reported about 3:30 a.m. just past the Oakwood exit.

Kanawha County 911 Dispatchers say the truck overturned and lost its load just past the exit. The eastbound lanes are still closed in the area.

No one was hurt in the accident. However, crews are still working to remove all the logs from the interstate. Right now, crews estimate the eastbound lanes will reopen by 9 a.m.

Right now, Charleston Police are diverting traffic off of the Oakwood Road exit, but 911 reports eastbound traffic is backed all the way to MacCorkle Avenue.

At 8:15 a.m., police shut down the Montrose entrance ramp and the Kanawha Turnpike entrance ramp to help eliminate some of the heavy traffic in the area.

The westbound lanes are open and traffic is moving in that direction.
