(KNSI) – A man was hurt after getting trapped in a semi during a rollover accident in Stearns County on Monday morning.
First responders were called around 7:30 to County Road 16 near 263rd Avenue in Zion Township, northwest of Roscoe. Deputies say 58-year-old Rodney Lillis of Wadena went around a curve, lost control, drove on the shoulder, then crossed over the westbound lane of traffic and into the north ditch on County Road 16. The truck went a short distance before it rolled onto the driver’s side.
Lillis became trapped in the cab of the wreckage and needed to be freed. He was airlifted to the St. Cloud Hospital, where he was treated for his injuries.
The truck is owned by Russ Davis Wholesalers out of Wadena. The semi was hauling a partial load of lettuce. The crash remains under investigation.
