OAKLAND TWP — The driver of a tractor trailer that rolled over Monday night was left mostly unharmed, though emergency crews spent about four hours dealing with the aftermath of the crash.

At about 4:45 p.m. the 18-wheel truck driving east toward Chicora on Route 68 veered off the road as it went around a bend near the intersection with St. Joe Road.

The truck was hauling two large metal containers of sand, labeled “Prop X,” to a nearby natural gas drilling site on Seven Hills and Conway roads in the township.

The weight of the sand apparently caused the trailer to roll over, which in turn caused the cab to roll onto its roof on the grass in front of a house, driver Luke Varana of Clymer, Pa. said.

Varana, who drives for LB Trucking of Ebensburg, Pa., said the crash smashed the door into an open position and he was able to get out of the upside-down cab by himself.
