A truck rolled over and crashed into a pole at the intersection of Route 20 and Highland Street early Wednesday morning, resulting in minor injuries to the driver, according to Detective Lt. Michael Forti.

Forti said the driver was up and walking after rolling his 2011 Ford F-150, which occurred at 5:39 a.m. The driver was taken to Lahey Hospital & Medical Center in Burlington.

“It’s still being investigated what caused him to roll over, but no criminal activity is suspected,” Forti said.

An Eversource crew was at the scene Wednesday morning resetting the pole and securing the power lines. A spokesperson said work is expected to be completed by mid-afternoon.

Forti said that the intersection has had several crashes in the vicinity of Route 20, and there have been discussions about addressing the issue, but the decision is not up to Weston because the state owns the road.
