Semi rolls over near Prairie Oasis due to high winds

Binder11 1

 

A semi truck driver was injured after his vehicle rolled over on Highway 36 near Prairie Oasis Campground on Saturday.

Hanna RCMP were called to the rollover on July 27 and found an empty semi tractor trailer which had entered the northbound ditch and rolled onto its side. The driver was extricated from the truck by the Hanna Fire Department and transported to hospital by Hanna EMS with significant but non-life threatening injuries, RCMP said in a release. 

    Hanna RCMP believe wind was a factor as wind speeds were reported to be in excess of 100 km/h at the time. 

No charges are being laid.
