The driver of a semi truck is OK after his rig left Highway 20 at Dugualla Bay Farms Thursday morning.

Officials are still on the scene investigating and don’t know yet what caused the crash but the area is known for being a particularly windy stretch, said Mark Kirko, deputy fire chief for North Whidbey Fire and Rescue.

“He doesn’t know how he got off the road,” Kirko said.

The driver was hauling two trailers filled with cans of paint for Peninsula Truck Lines, a commercial company that delivers goods all over the Northwest.

The driver left the road near the farm stand and kept the truck from barreling into the building and the fields. He skidded to a halt in a grassy median next to the road, the two trailers twisted like a gigantic broken toy.
