Rescue personnel from Fort Payne Fire arrived and extracted the driver, Devin Lamar Morgan, of Austell, Georgia.  Mr. Morgan was alert and talking as he was removed from the vehicle and transported to Gadsden Regional Hospital by Dekalb Ambulance Service. 

An Investigation into the wreck continues, but it appears that the truck might have been traveling to fast at the curve as he attempted to make the right turn at the bottom and his load shifted and overturned.
