PORT TOWNSEND— A Port Orchard man was uninjured when he drove a refrigerated truck off state Highway 20 near Discovery Bay on Friday, the State Patrol said.

The highway was partially blocked from about 3:16 p.m. to 5:50 p.m., state Department of Transportation officials said.
Menou was wearing a seat belt, and drugs and alcohol were not involved, troopers said.
The 2007 Chevrolet truck was damaged but was driven from the scene.
