(BEDFORD) - A Loogootee man was injured after his logging truck overturned on Pinhook Road west of Bud Stipp Road on Thursday afternoon.

The accident happened at 2:47 p.m.

According to a Lawrence County Police report, 35-year-old Anthony Graber was traveling east on Pinhook Road, west of Bud Stipp Road hauling logs on a 1982 Kenworth truck owned by Graber Transport LLC out of Loogootee. Police say Graber was entering a curve on the narrow road and attempted to get as far to the right as possible when the tires of the truck dropped off the roadway.

The truck proceeded partially down an embankment and rolled onto its side into a fence.

The logs fell into a bean field damaging the crop.

Graber suffered a possible fracture to his back.
