Preliminary investigation revealed a 2007 Kenworth Fuel Tanker with trailer was traveling eastbound when the vehicle drifted off the shoulder of the roadway and rolled. The vehicle came to rest up against some small trees. The driver of the Kenworth, Robert REYNOLDS, age 31 of Hines, sustained moderate injuries in the crash and was transported by ground ambulance to Riverbend Hospital in Springfield.
