KAMLOOPS — A cement truck tipped onto its side Monday (June 21) morning at Highway 5A and Aberdeen Drive, but the driver and area were left largely unscathed.

Kamloops Fire Rescue (KFR) said the driver was the only person in the cement truck and that they were out of the vehicle safely when they arrived. The driver said there was around 80 yards worth of cement on board and it had moved up the side of the mixer and put it off balance.

KFR called a heavy wrecker to put the cement truck back up on its wheels. There was only a small diesel spill that’s being cleaned up by the City of Kamloops.
