WELLS TOWNSHIP -- A truck driver lost control of his semi on US Highway 41 in Wells Township, just north of Escanaba Saturday morning.

The cab was almost completely turned around. Most of the UP has dug their way out of this week's blizzard, but road conditions were still slippery in some spots Saturday. There were no injuries, but the truck was slightly damaged and leaking gasoline. It partially blocked traffic, but Michigan State Police and the Delta County Sherrifs helped the scene get cleaned up in only a matter of minutes.
