Log truck rolls over on Colorado Highway 184 near Dolores

No injuries reported; some fuel spills

A log truck rolled over Saturday morning near the intersection of Colorado Highway 184 and County Road 28.

There was only one occupant of the vehicle and no reported injuries.

According to Colorado State Patrol, there was some fuel spill from the vehicle, and it was mitigated by a hazardous materials team.

The truck was headed south toward Colorado 145 about 10:30 a.m. when the back end went off the road. The driver was likely going too fast on the slight turn near County Road 28, the state patrol said. Weather was not considered a factor in the accident.

Responders from CSP and the Dolores Fire Protection District were on the scene.

The incident comes after another log truck rolled over about 3:30 a.m. Saturday on Haycamp Mesa. That crash occurred on County Road S near Aspen Wall Wood. First responders said there were no injuries, though the driver was later transported by personal vehicle for medical attention.
