Sheriff’s officials in Montgomery County say they were notified at around 5:45-a.m. today (Tuesday), about a County Secondary Roads dump truck that had rolled over on 200th Street, about one-quarter of a mile west of Q Avenue. The driver had been clearing snow from the north shoulder of the road and got too close to the ditch. As the driver nearly stopped all forward motion, the truck tipped over into the ditch and came to rest on the driver’s side.

When the truck was removed from the ditch, it was determined that the snow had prevented any significant damage to the truck, and there was minimal damage to a fence, due to the fact sand was dumped onto it from the truck’s box. Damages amounted to less than $1,000.
