The driver of a semi tractor-trailer was not injured Saturday, when the rig he was driving left Interstate 80 near Anita, and ended-up in a field. According to dispatch reports, the incident happened a little after 2-p.m., when the semi left I-80 eastbound between mile markers 70 and 71.

The vehicle went into the ditch and up an embankment and through a fence before rolling onto its side and coming to rest about 50-feet into a field. The driver was reportedly walking around the truck taking pictures when law enforcement arrived on the scene. He refused medical attention.

Anita Rescue and Cass EMS were dispatched to the scene, but then told to disregard.
