BELLA VISTA -- A jackknifed semi truck closed all lanes on Highway 340 on Saturday morning.

The crash occurred at about 10:52 a.m. about one mile west of Highway 94, according to the Arkansas Department of transportation.

No other vehicles were involved, said Brandon Goodwin, dispatcher with the Bella Vista Police Department.

What caused the truck to jackknife is unknown at this time, he said.

A wrecker is at the scene in an effort to open the highway again, Goodwin said. There are no estimates as to when lanes will reopen.

There were no injuries, he said.

The truck was hauling a large construction-style dump truck on a flatbed trailer when it crashed, Goodwin said.
