SEMI ROLLS OVER ON I-90

Traffic on I-90 this morning heading westbound was slowed down after a Semi hauling trash rolled over shutting down one lane. The driver was able to exit the cab through the back window without any injuries. Specialized tow trucks were called in to upright and remove the semi. When asked what the plan was to upright the truck a representative of Dunlap’s said they were first waiting to clean up the debris. “We have trucks coming that will first pick up the debris and get that out of the way then we have yet another truck to come help us get this thing back up on its wheels.”

Elyria Police are investigating the crash.

Actually, the dump came up after the vehicle overturned. It was dragging on the road that caused the bed to lift. This truck left very deep ruts in the asphalt from where it overturned. Glad the driver wasn't hurt. Tied up traffice for a while, but all-in-all a fairly mundane accident.
