Wife called down to my computer room, shortly after noon I believe it was, and said:"Come here looks like there is something in the road out front:
Guess there was!
Seems the driver of the county truck got a little too far to the right and when front right wheel dropped off the pavement and he tried to pull back to the left the load of fine stone shifted and laid truck right over. Kind of blocked traffic!
Driver was lucky and only had a bad scraped up left elbow and possibly some other damage to left arm, no spurting blood just a little red stuff leaking down his hand and a hole in sweatshirt by elbow with a good amount of red on it!
Time to call in "Big Red":
No sense i calling in the little guys!
After a good amount of preparation and rigging it was back on all ten:
They only towed it a few hundred yards down the road to get away from the clean up crew to load it on lowboy for the ride back to the county garage in Oswego, NY.
They used a state plow to move the clean stone off the highway and ran a sweeper over the area a few times to be able to reopen the road. Tomorrow they are planning on coming back to finish clean up of the area that fuel got spilled on and they already dropped off a load of clean fill for that part of the job and put down the absorbent "snakes" and covered the area with plastic after scrubbing the road with speedi-dry.
