A semi-trailer truck driver escaped injury Tuesday night after he went off the road and into the ditch on Highway 19 just north of its intersection with Highway 104 west of the Hood Canal Bridge.

According to the Washington State Patrol, the man was driving south on Highway 19 and was near Milepost 1 approaching Highway 104 when his wheels left the pavement on the right side of the road.

The wheels of the 2006 Freightliner rolled over soft dirt on the road shoulder, and sent the semi-truck and its trailer into the ditch.

The crash occurred at 8:29 p.m. Tuesday, June 30.

The driver, 31, a resident of Tijuana, Mexico, was not hurt.
