The driver of a dump truck was injured Saturday when the truck flipped on its side near a construction site on LaGrange Road.

Orland firefighters were called to 159th and LaGrange Road around 10 a.m., where they found the truck flipped on its side, and the driver pinned inside the cabin.

Battalion Chief Nick Cinquepalmi said the truck had tipped over while the driver was navigating through construction site debris located on the southwest corner of the intersection.

The construction site is a holding station for trucks, equipment and construction debris, materials and refuse before it is carted away for disposal. The unnamed driver was taken to Silver Cross Hospital for continued treatment of non-life-threatening injuries, Cinquelpalmi said.
