Washtenaw County dump truck rolls over, pins driver; rural roads icy
A Washtenaw County employee was pinned in his dump truck that rolled over on Joy Road east of Dixboro Road, officials confirmed.
The accident happened just after 9 a.m. Tuesday morning.
Around 9:20 a.m., Jim Harmon, director of operations for the Washtenaw County Road Commission, confirmed that authorities were working to get the driver out of the truck.
It's unclear if the weather conditions played a part yet. County dispatchers said rural roads were especially dangerous this morning.
"All the gravel roads are solid ice," one dispatcher said.
