A dump truck driven by a 51-year-old Menomonee Falls man tipped over, seriously injuring the driver after a tire blew.
GRAFTON, WI — On June 7, just after noon, a dump truck hauling dirt, driven by a 51 year old Menomonee Falls man was traveling northbound on I-43 north of Pioneer Rd. in the Town of Grafton. The front passenger side tire blew which caused the driver to lose control. The dump truck rolled over and entered the east ditch.
The dirt the dump truck was hauling covered the paved shoulder of the interstate. The driver was taken by Grafton Rescue to Froedtert Hospital with serious but not life threatening injuries.
Ozaukee County Emergency Management responded due to a diesel fuel leak. The Ozaukee County Highway Department removed the debris from the roadway. One lane of the interstate remains shut down while crews clear the roadway and remove the dump truck.
