A man was hospitalized after a crash near Harvard Aug. 4, 2025.

A single pickup truck and a 40-foot camper trailer the truck was pulling had rolled over, but “the truck came to rest in an upright position,” Vucha said.

The man who was driving was the only person inside the truck and was out of the vehicle before fire personnel arrived, Vucha said. Paramedics evaluated the man and took him to a local hospital with minor injuries.

“The crash left debris scattered across the roadway, and both vehicles sustained moderate damage,” Vucha said.

The roadway was expected to be cleared before 8 p.m. Monday; towing crews were working to upright and remove the trailer and clean debris from the area, Vucha said.
