A semi carrying gravel lost its load and overturned on County Road 450S and 400W in Bartholomew County Monday afternoon according to the sheriff’s department.

Judy Jackson, spokeswoman for the department, said that deputies were called to the scene at about 2:16 p.m. 24-year-old Clayton Wente of Seymour was hauling gravel on County Road 450S and attempted to turn onto 400W, when the load shifted, causing his truck and trailer to roll onto its side.

He was treated for minor injuries and the road had to be closed to clean up fluids that spilled during the crash.
