A truck driver has minor injuries after first responders say his semi rolled over near Jackman when he fell asleep.

The Jackman Moose River Fire & Rescue Department says the crash happened on Route 201 in Dennistown Plantation just north of Jackman Monday morning.

The semi was hauling prefabricated walls for home construction when it hit and broke a utility pole and rolled.

The Fire & Rescue Department says there were frequent traffic delays during the day as a tow truck worked to get the truck upright and hauled away with the spilled material.

The department said it’s amazing that the driver sustained only minor injuries, given how mangled the truck cab was.
