On January 8,2010, a tractor trailer going northbound on I-69 lost control at approximately 4am and did a complete 180 and tipped over in the median.  The driver was temporarily trapped in the cab by his seatbelt, but not injured.  He was hauling a load of produce and luckily the load stayed contained to the trailer.  HFD crews had to use extrication equipment to release the tractors tandems from the guardrail before the semi could be moved by the towing company.  Additionally, they contained a diesel leak from the refrigerated trailer and put down booms for precautionary measures while Parker Towing uprighted the semi.  Units cleared the scene at approx 6:45.
