The driver of a concrete truck is a very lucky man, according to a spokesperson for Parkland Ambulance.

Early Wednesday morning, the truck rolled into the ditch just off Highway 2 North, near Northside. Lyle Karasiuk said the driver, a 50-year-old man from out of province, suffered only minor injuries.

“He is a long haul truck driver and a front tire blew on his truck. He crossed the highway so he missed all the traffic and they missed him,” he said.

There was no word where the loaded truck was headed. (Facebook/ Lakeland and District Fire Dept.)
