DEKALB CO., Ind. (ADAMS) – A semi-tractor trailer rolled into a ditch Friday morning in DeKalb County. The truck was carrying steel coils in the trailer.
According to DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department, the semi-driver, Ronnie Myers, 72, was heading east in the 6400 block of CR 40. Myers said he moved over within his own lane to allow another vehicle more room to pass him in the westbound lanes.
While making the space, Myers said the passenger side tires dropped off the road – pulling his truck off the road and into a ditch alongside the roadway.
Myers said the trailer, which was carrying two steel coils, began to roll and the truck fell onto its side. The rollover resulted in the steel coils shifting and coming off the truck. Myers wasn’t hurt, but the truck is a total loss.
The DeKalb Co. Sheriff’s Department was assisted by Butler Police Department, Butler Fire Department, Parkview DeKalb EMS.
