A man is hospitalized after a runaway semi truck crashes in Dubois County.
The Dubois County Sheriff says Joe Rigdon was unloading the truck at Schaefer Farms on Country Road 700 South, just outside of Ferdinand.
The truck's brakes let go somehow, and the truck rolled down the hill and across the street. Rigdon was pulled from the Wreckage and taken to a Jasper hospital.
Deputies say the truck caused about 50-thousand dollars worth of damage, and the road was shut down for several hours.
