The state Department of Transportation said the rig overturned about 7 a.m. on the northbound side of the interstate near Archdale. Crews were on the scene at lunchtime, cleaning up explosive material that had spilled from the rig.

The driver, whose name was not released, was in critical condition, authorities said.

It was unclear what caused the single-vehicle wreck, which remains under investigation. Reports indicated the driver had to be extricated from the vehicle, but that was not confirmed.
