LAKE LUZERNE — A tractor-trailer driver avoided serious injury when his rig tipped over and blocked Homer Drive for two hours Friday morning, Warren County sheriff's Deputy Dan LaFrance said.

The accident happened at 9:10 a.m. when the truck driven by Rory J. Whitman, 56, of Fort Ann landed on its side while it was dumping topsoil at a home. Whitman got himself out of the cab with the homeowner's help and was taken to Glens Falls Hospital with apparently minor injuries, LaFrance said.

A local tow service removed the truck.
