"The driver was out of the vehicle when we arrived. Found there was no leaks, no propane hazards," Thomas said. "We're having the power shut off from the utility company. That way, we are limiting ignition sources as well."

The driver was taken to the hospital with minor injuries as a precaution and is expected to recover.

Mountain Road remained closed as crews worked to remove the truck.

No other vehicles were involved in the accident.
