Two lanes on the BQE eastbound, near the Lee Avenue overpass, are currently shut down following an overturning incident. 

A large truck overturned on the highway, hitting another vehicle and taking down a pole in the process that is causing delays in the westbound direction as well. 

Hatzolah and other emergency crews are on the scene, and two minor injuries have been reported. 

The accident is causing heavy traffic in the area.
