BURNHAM — Officials say a truck driver was hospitalized after his truck overturned on Interstate 95 in central Maine, spilling logs and shutting down traffic.
Maine State Police say 38-year-old Joseph Paradis of Millinocket was driving south on Interstate 95 in Burnham when his truck went into the median shortly before 2 a.m. today.
The truck rolled over and covered both southbound lanes, with the logs scattering into the median.
Police say the interstate was completely shut down for half an hour about 5 a.m. so the tractor could be flipped upright and removed. The trailer and the logs were removed by 9:30 a.m.
Officials say Paradis was taken by ambulance to Sebasticook Valley Hospital in Pittsfield with some facial cuts. He was also complaining of rib pain.
