 He tried to correct the rig, which is registered to Commercial Transport Inc., Belleville, Ill., by steering to the right.

The vehicle slid off the roadway to the south, coming to rest with the trailer off the road and the cab on the highway.

The complaint reported the road was very slick and INDOT was notified. They advised to call IDEM, which recommended lightly sanding the road where there was a spill. The highway was closed until mid- to late afternoon.

Armes complained of pain to his arm, and the accident report listed his injury as a possible fracture or dislocation.
