A commercial tractor-trailer had been heading west on Interstate 80 when the driver lost control of the vehicle on an ice-covered road. The tractor and trailer exited the roadway's right side and collided with a fence and guardrail before coming to a stop in an adjacent pond.
The driver was wearing his seatbelt and, though he had minor injuries, he was able to swim to shore. The clean-up of the crash is still ongoing.
He has been transported to the Ivinson Memorial Hospital to be treated for his injuries.
Driving too fast for road conditions is being investigated as a potential contributing factor.
