Drivers heading north through Broward County Tuesday morning ran into a backup on Florida’s Turnpike, where a semi-truck rollover stopped all northbound traffic near Commercial Boulevard for about an hour.

This turned the northbound side of the turnpike into a parking lot around 7:23 a.m. Two lanes got reopened around 8:30 a.m., but the traffic backup remained another half hour.
