Neither the driver of the semi or anyone else was injured
At 7:02 a.m. Wednesday (Feb. 5), the Vancouver Fire Department was dispatched to the report of a semi-truck that had gone off the road on SR-14 west of Lieser Road. Crews arrived to find a car carrier semi-truck that was buried deep in the mud off the highway on the west bound side. Neither the driver of the semi or anyone else was injured.
Vancouver Fire worked with the Washington State Patrol to block and divert traffic around the scene as well as the Department of Ecology to investigate possible diesel and antifreeze leaking from the semi.
