The driver suffered minor injuries in a single-vehicle log truck wreck Thursday morning.

A report from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said just after 7:00 a.m. the loaded vehicle was headed northeast in the 1600 block of Del Rio Road when the driver drifted off the roadway, causing the vehicle to roll onto its side. The wrecked log truck caused damage to utility boxes, a power meter and a fence.

The driver was transported by private vehicle to seek medical attention. A tow company removed the vehicle and the log truck’s owner brought a self-loader to remove the logs. Traffic was halted for a time while the scene was cleaned up.
