CLEVELAND - A dump truck driver was injured in an accident around 1 p.m. Thursday when he lost control of his truck on Highway 115 west of Cleveland and overturned, dumping a load of gravel onto the roadway.
The accident occurred at the intersection of Highway 115 West and Town Creek Road.
The dump truck was traveling east on Highway 115 when apparently the driver, for an unknown reason, ran off the right shoulder of the road and struck a couple of road signs.
As the driver attempted to get back on the road, the truck flipped over spilling the full load of gravel.
The driver was injured and had to be extricated from the vehicle. He then was transported to the hospital for treatment of his injuries.
No further details are immediately available.
