A garbage truck rolled on Highway 36 this morning, injuring the driver and tying up traffic during the morning rush.
The truck driver, Eduardo Ramirez Morales, 39, was taken to a local hospital with injuries that do not appear to be life-threatening, according to Westminster Police.
At about 7 a.m. Morales lost control of the BFI Waste Management truck he was driving.
The single-vehicle accident shut down all but one lane of the highway’s eastbound lanes near Federal Boulevard for almost two hours.
Morales, who holds a state commercial driver’s license, was cited for careless driving and is scheduled to appear in Westminster Municipal Court on August 31.
