ALBANY - A garbage truck overturned around 2:10 p.m. Thursday on Wisconsin 104 between Wis. 59 and English Settlement Road, north of Albany.
According to Green County Sheriff's Deputy Brad Gilbert, Charles Mastaler, 35, Milton, was southbound when he lost control of the truck. The truck slid sideways and overturned, ending up on its passenger side partially in the east ditch.
Mastaler had non life-threatening injuries to his left shoulder. He was treated at the scene by Albany EMS but refused medical transport.
