Cranes were needed to remove the truck and condenser from Hwy 22.

MILL CITY, Ore. — Highway 22E was blocked early yesterday morning after a commercial truck rollover crash

At about 3:00 a.m. a commercial truck transporting a 70,000 pound condenser was traveling downhill when the rear car started to swerve and the driver lost control.

The vehicle and load rolled onto its side, blocking the two westbound lanes and the center median.

Cranes had to be called in to move the truck and the condenser. That effort took between 10 and 12 hours.
