WHITELAW - A semi-tanker truck hauling liquid manure rolled over on Tuesday morning at the intersection of U.S. 10 and Manitowoc County T in the Town of Manitowoc Rapids, midway between Branch and Whitelaw.
It happened just before 8:40 a.m. when the operator of the truck, eastbound on U.S. 10, attempted to turn left at T and head northbound. The tractor trailer overturned into the ditch on the northeast quadrant of the intersection, with diesel fuel and manure leaking and flowing into a pond.
The driver, a 39-year old Manitowoc man, had minor injuries and was treated at the scene.
The roadway was closed for nearly four hours to accommodate the investigation and cleanup.
