Police have closed Highway 19 in both directions at the 42 mile marker.

Traffic is being diverted through Honokaa due to an overturned semi-truck.

The highway is expected to re-open in 1 to 2 hours.

A police spokeswoman said the semi-truck overturned to avoid hitting a car turning left onto the highway from Mamane Street.

Minor injuries have been reported.

Earlier, only the Waimea-bound lane was closed.
