The driver of tractor-trailer was injured when he lost control of his rig on Interstate 75 in Findlay Monday night, causing a backup of traffic on the highway.  According to the Findlay post of the State Highway Patrol, Andres G. Curbelo, 34, of Windsor, Ontario, was driving south on I-75 near the Ohio 15 exit at 6:15 p.m. when he lost control of the rig, which traveled off the left side of the roadway, through a ditch and over the median cables. The truck ended up on its side, blocking both northbound lanes of the interstate, the patrol reported.  Curbelo was taken by a Hanco ambulance to Blanchard Valley Hospital with non-life threatening injuries, according to the patrol.  A pickup truck pulling a camper was damaged when the driver, Richard L. Ferguson, 42, of Oak Harbor, Mich., unsuccessfully attempted to drive off the roadway to avoid the truck. Ferguson and five passengers in the pickup were uninjured, the patrol reported.
