A truck driver was killed and another man was injured after a semi-tractor hauling lumber overturned in a ditch near Mayerthorpe yesterday, Mounties said.

Cpl. Phil Harrison said it almost looks as though the driver fell asleep at the wheel, though he would have to wait until police speak with the passenger before determining what caused the crash.

Emergency crews were called to the single-vehicle rollover on Highway 43, west of Highway 765, around 3:30 a.m. yesterday.

The eastbound truck entered the south ditch and rolled, Mounties said.
