A 1998 Toyota Tacoma flipped after hitting a patch of hail on Highway 213 in Mulino Wednesday evening, at about 5:40 p.m.
Traffic was slowed for an hour while the vehicle was blocking the northbound lane. However, Vic Dunton of Mulino, the only occupant of the vehicle, was uninjured.
"I hit a hail storm -- I didn't see it coming," he said.
Dunton said he was accelarating to get up the hill on Highway 213 just past Graves Road when the slick road conditions caused the truck's rear end to flip.
"Fortunately no one was coming in the other lane," he said.
Molalla Fire Department personnel directed traffic until a tow truck arrived, shortly after 6 p.m.
