A truck driver says he choked on a donuts and nearly blacked out, causing him to crash into a roadside ditch last week.
It happened on Friday, October 13th at approximately 11 a.m. in Osceola County, Michigan.
According to a local Michigan Live report, the semi truck was traveling on US 131 near Highway 115 when the truck driver reportedly began to choke on a donut he was eating. The driver says he lost control of the semi truck as he began to fade in and out of consciousness.
The tractor trailer then went off the left side of the road and overturned is a grassy ditch, spilling its load of logs.
Deputies say that they have no way of proving whether the story is true, or whether the driver just fell asleep, but that alcohol and drugs were not factors in the accident.
The driver wasn’t seriously injured in the crash.
