The driver was taken to the hospital after a tanker truck hauling milk crashed on Saturday afternoon.

An Oregon State Police report said at approximately 4:30 p.m. a trooper was dispatched to the wreck on Highway 138E near Milepost 39. The driver was attempting to negotiate a curve when she lost control of the vehicle. The semi-truck rolled onto its side and went into a ditch off the roadway, spilling milk. The driver had to be extricated by fire personnel and was transported to CHI Mercy Medical Center due to her injuries. The driver was cited for failure to drive within a lane. The tanker was scheduled to be towed on Monday due to damage, after a truck arrives to transfer the remaining contents into another tanker. A Hax-mat team planned to assess the scene.
