A truck crashed as it was exiting the Massachusetts Turnpike on Wednesday, closing the ramp to I-495 by spilling trash on the side of the road, state police said.
The driver had a minor injury in the crash in Hopkinton, which took place about 9:15 a.m., police said.
Police estimated it would take about two hours for the ramp, from the Boston-bound side of the Turnpike to I-495, to be-reopened. They shared an image of trash covering the median of the highway next to the tractor-trailer, which was on its side.

The driver, a 28-year-old from Fitchburg, is expected to face charges over what happened. The truck is owned by a Worcester-based waste disposal company.
The ramp eventually reopened after several hours.
