Late morning the second trailer of a B-double that was loaded with chick peas rolled about six kilometres west of Trangie.
One lane was closed for a time.
Inspector Dan Skelly from Orana Local Area Command said the truck had since been righted and moved off the highway.
“Luckily the truck was carrying chickpeas not cattle,” he said.
