(FRENCH LICK) - A Dubois man was injured when the semi truck he was driving rolled over around 9:32AM Thursday morning on Ind. 56 just west of French Lick.
According to the Orange County Sheriffs Department, 68-year-old Donald Fuhrman, of Dubois, was driving a 2000 Freight Liner semi truck east pulling a trailer loaded with chicken manure.
