Daily News & More is reporting that a Louisiana log truck driver escaped without injury after his rig rolled over on Tuesday afternoon in Sabine County. It happened shortly after 3:00 on State Highway 87 about 2 miles south of Farm to Market Road 3315 in the Fairmount Community.

According to Texas Department of Public Safety Sergeant David Hendrey, 45-year-old Gordy Freeney, of DeRidder, was driving northbound in a 1996 Peterbilt and carrying a load of logs.

Hendrey said Freeney told investigating troopers that he met a car coming at him in his lane, so he took evasive action which resulted in the truck and trailer overturning on the roadway.

The driver that allegedly caused the accident did not stop, according to Hendrey.
