A truck driver escaped injury in a rollover crash of his rig Friday afternoon on Highway 70 east.

Trooper Bobby Johnson of the Tennessee Highway Patrol said 50 year old David Gray of Antioch, Tennessee was traveling west in a 2017 International semi hauling vehicle parts when it overturned while negotiating a curve. The rig came to rest on its side on top of a concrete traffic barrier. A passerby stopped to help Gray from the semi. He was not injured but was cited for failure to exercise due care.

It took several hours for the wreckage to be removed from the highway
