A truck driver was uninjured in a semi rollover in the city of Prairie du Chien Wednesday afternoon, March 15, according to the Prairie du Chien Police Department.

At about 1:45 p.m., the police department was notified of the rollover at the intersection of Pine Street and State Highway 35, across from 3M. Officers learned, Richard Snitker, 59, of Monona, Iowa, was traveling south on Highway 35 in a 2003 International semi and attempting a left turn onto Pine Street when he observed a vehicle passing him on the highway. In Snitker’s attempt to evade a collision with the passing vehicle, the semi rolled over on Pine Street into the grassy area near Design Homes.

Officers said there were no injuries in the accident, though the passing vehicle remains unidentified. Snitker was operating a 2003 International Semi.

Milo’s Towing and Repair, along with assistance from Edgewood Auto and Tire, took on the extensive task of getting the semi back onto its wheels. The Wisconsin State Patrol also assisted at the scene.

The extent of damage to the Moore Trucking vehicle is unknown. Snitker was hauling materials to Prairie Industries when the incident occurred.
