An Indiana man was injured Monday night when his semi ran off the road and overturned in Effingham County.

State police report 55-year-old Eric Zieba of Portage, Indiana was traveling west on I-70 just west of the National Trail Rest Area on the way from Effingham to Altamont. Shortly before 8pm, Zieba attempted to move over to the left lane due to a disabled semi on the right shoulder. 

Zieba's rig traveled off the roadway to the left and traveled into the center median, causing it to roll onto its driver's side.

Zieba was transported to HSHS St. Anthony's Memorial Hospital in Effingham for treatment. He was cited for improper lane usage.
