According to CTSS, a member and volunteer firefighters driving by were able to get the driver out of the truck.

The driver suffered only minor injuries.

STARS also tweeted that they were dispatched for a scene call emergency in the Regina area.

Regina police said this was the third vehicle rollover reported to them in 30 minutes on Tuesday morning.
