The driver of a semi suffered possible/unknown injuries Tuesday, when he lost control of the truck and trailer, which partially rolled into a ditch. The Page County Sheriff’s Office say 47-year old Jason Robert Stanbrough, of rural Essex, was transported to Montgomery County Memorial Hospital by Essex Fire and Rescue.

Authorities were notified at around 2:45-p.m. about the accident, which took place on 170th Street near Dogwood Avenue, or about 2-miles south of Essex. An investigation determined Stanbrough was traveling westbound on 170th Street in a 2006 Peterbilt semi tractor that was hauling a 2010 Timpte grain trailer. When the tractor’s right front tire dropped off the edge of the roadway, Stanbrough was unable to bring the front tire back on the road, which did not have a shoulder. The semi then rolled over approximately three-quarters of a turn into the ditch, causing the trailer to spill the grain into a field / ditch on the north side of 170^th.

The tractor/trailer sustained over $20,000 damage. No citations were issued. The Page County Sheriff’s Office was assisted at the scene by Essex Fire and Rescue and the Shenandoah Police Department.
