Emergency crews are on scene of big rig rollover on Interstate 10 westbound west of Bob Hope Drive.

The accident was reported Saturday afternoon at 2:34.

The big rig driver suffered a head injury and was taken to an area hospital.

At one point, the number 3 and 4 westbound lanes were blocked, leading to a traffic backup.

We're told the truck was carrying 80,000 pounds of tomatoes.

At least one other vehicle was involved in the accident.
