(Union County, Iowa) – A semi tractor trailer hauling grain rolled over Sunday evening in Union County, causing suspected serious/incapacitating injuries to the driver. The Union County Sheriff’s Office reports a 2009 Peterbilt semi driven by 65-year-old Ronald Lynn Gray, of Mount Ayr, was traversing a curve in the road on westbound 190th Street at around 4:55-p.m., when Gray lost control of the rig.

The vehicle rolled over, losing its cargo of grain, and came to rest on the passenger side. Gray was partially ejected and had his left leg pinned outside the driver’s side window of the cab, between the frame of the truck, and the ground.

He was mechanically extracted from the vehicle by EMS personnel, and transported to the hospital in Creston, for treatment of leg pain and other injuries. The tractor-trailer – registered to Wurster Farms, Inc., from Creston – sustained $30,000 damage and was declared a total loss.
