Police and emergency workers were called to the single truck rollover in Lower Norton about 8.20am.

The truck, which was travelling north along Noradjuha-Horsham Rd with about 600 head of sheep, lost control and overturned while travelling through an S-bend south of Three Bridges Rd.

The driver, a 31-year-old Echuca man, was taken to hospital with minor injuries.

No other vehicles were involved in the incident.

A vet was called as it is believed a large number of sheep were euthanised as a result of the accident.

Investigators are urging any witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential crime report to crimestoppersvic.com.au
