CALHOUN COUNTY, MI (WTVB) – A 53-year-old semi driver from Indiana escaped with minor injuries following a crash Wednesday morning on southbound I-69 near the 28 mile marker in Calhoun County.
The Calhoun County Sheriff’s Department says the crash happened just before 4:00 a.m..
When deputies arrived, they found a tractor trailer had run off the road and partially rolled over.
In the process, the truck struck a culvert causing damage to the structure. The collision also caused a spill of about 70 gallons of diesel fuel on the bank of Nottawa Creek.
The driver was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment of his injuries.
The Sheriff’s Department reports it appears the fuel spill was contained before any water contamination took place.
The Sheriff’s Office was assisted on the scene by the Tekonsha Fire Department and the Marshall Area Fire Fighters Ambulance Authority.
