A dog in the truck bit the driver on the hand. This caused the truck to leave the roadway. The driver over-corrected and the vehicle rolled.

Nisbett and a passenger Kimberly M. Nisbett, 30, Danielson, CT., were transported to Russell Regional Medical Center. She was not wearing a seatbelt, according to the KHP.

The dog has not been located, according to the KHP.
