Logs scattered a Buffalo County highway just before the holiday break, when a log truck lost control on icy roads.

Heading north on State Highway 25 early Thursday morning, the driver told the Buffalo County Sheriff’s Office he lost control due to ice as he headed downhill.

He said the truck did a complete 360 before coming to a rest.

Traffic at Highway 25 and Thibeadeau Rd. was closed for about an hour while a tow truck was used to move the logs.

The driver came away with just minor injuries. Nobody else was hurt in the accident.

Assisting at the scene was the Pepin County Sheriff’s Office, Durand Fire Department, Durand Ambulance Service, the Buffalo County Highway Department, the Wisconsin State Patrol, Polzer Brothers Towing and Buffalo Lumber and Tie.
