No one was injured in a farming accident near city limits this morning.

A hay truck overturned near Maricopa-Casa Grande Highway and White and Parker Road around 9 a.m.

The driver was not injured, according to a witness.

The truck flipped turning left onto an agricultural road.

Maricopa Police Department and Maricopa Fire and Medical Department responded to the scene.

Crews are working to clean up wreckage and remove hay bales from the road.

Expect some congestion near that intersection.
