A semi truck driver is injured when his vehicle overturns on US-169 just south of Chanute.

 The tractor-trailer driven by 48-year-old Rebel Knight of Poteau, OK, was southbound on US-169 just after 1pm yesterday afternoon when a sudden gust of wind hit the side of his trailer. The wind gust caused the truck to overturn and come to rest in the northbound lanes of the highway.

Knight sustained minor injuries in the accident and was taken to Neosho Memorial hospital for treatment.
