The driver of a commercial truck sustained minor injuries Tuesday morning when his semi- trailer overturned in icy conditions near Central Linn High School along Highway 228 in Linn County.

Shortly before 7:45 a.m., Calvin Cowdrey was driving a 1994 Freightliner truck pulling a semi-trailer eastbound on the highway near milepost 1 when the trailer's right side tires crossed the fog line, said an Oregon State Police spokesperson.

The rear of the trailer slid off the icy shoulder into a ditch where the trailer and truck rolled onto its side.
