An accident required a big cleanup in Manitowoc County.

That's where a semi-trailer truck went out of control, rolled over and spilled some 5,000 gallons of liquid manure.

The Wisconsin State Patrol says the driver was treated for injuries after the crash yesterday near an intersection in the town of Newton. He was driving east and tried to make a left turn when the rig rolled into the ditch.

The Newton Fire Department contained the spill, and Maritime Liquid Waste Disposal removed the manure.

The state Department of Natural Resources also had personnel at the scene.
