NEWPORT — A log truck ran off the roadway on I-91 in Derby on Tuesday morning.
Traffic was down to one lane on the interstate at around 10:45 a.m. and the fully loaded log truck could be seen in the median smoking and badly damaged.
Police, along with members of the Newport City Fire Department and Ambulance arrived on scene.
The driver, identified as Pascal Rodrigue, 61, of Quebec, was transported to North Country Hospital to be treated for minor injuries.
Police say the tractor-trailer drifted too far to the left in the passing lane and ran off of the roadway and into the trees in the interstate median.
Members from St. Onge Excavating arrived on the scene later in the day to assist with the removal of the tractor-trailer and are assisting with the removal of the logs this morning.
There were no other vehicles involved in the crash.
