Slippery Roads Cause Truck To Flip Submitted: 12/29/2012
LAKE TOMAHAWK - Slippery roads cause a truck to flip up-side-down on a road in Lake Tomahawk.

The driver of the truck, Joshua Oramous, said the back end spun out and he lost control on the slippery road.


Then, the truck crossed the center line and flipped on the side of the road.

It happened Saturday around 7:30 p.m. on County Road D and Poplar Road in Lake Tomahawk.

Oramous was the only person in the truck and was not injured.

He said he was glad his child wasn't with him.

The Lake Tomahawk Fire Captian said no alcohol was involved.

Another fire fighter said he thought there could have been black ice.
