No injuries were reported after a semi-truck lost control and rolled onto its side Tuesday morning. Officers from the Sioux County Sheriff’s office investigated the accident that occurred on county road A54B one mile northwest of Fairview SD.
24-year-old Brent Demattia from Hubbard, OH, was driving a 2001 Freightliner semi-tractor pulling a trailer westbound on A54B when he lost control of the truck, entered the south ditch, struck two concrete culverts and rolled onto its side.
The Freightliner sustained approximately $50,000 in damage. The culverts, owned and maintained by the Sioux County Engineer’s Office, sustained approximately $1,000 in damage.
Demattia was cited for failure to maintain control of a motor vehicle.
The sheriff’s office was assisted by the Fairview Fire Department.
