"Motorists may have been driven bananas over the years by Route 119, but perhaps none more than John Q. Jones.
Jones, 52, of Garland, Texas, was driving a tractor-trailer Monday when it overturned and spilled its 22-ton load of bananas.

The accident occurred about 7:30 p.m. just south of Musser's Nursery in Rayne Township, Indiana County, according to state police at Indiana. As Jones drove his 2005 Freightliner tractor-trailer north, he failed to negotiate a left curve, according to police. The rig overturned, ejecting Jones from the cab and the bananas from the trailer as it rolled down an embankment.

Jones was treated for moderate injuries at Indiana Regional Medical Center and was released, police said. His rig was a total loss.

Traffic on Route 119 was restricted to one lane for more than nine hours, according to police.

Police said the bananas, which were to be delivered to Dubois, were recovered."
