Large Truck, Dump Truck Crash in Polk County, NC
Posted on Jul 27, 2010
A large truck accident recently occurred in Polk County, NC. The accident occurred near mile marker 62 just before Saluda on I-26.
The vehicles were headed west when a dump truck loaded with gravel overturned. The truck spilled its load onto I-26 shortly before being struck by a semi-truck. The accident occurred late at night yet there was at least one eyewitness to the aftermath of the crash.
A man approached the scene and saw the 18-wheeler crash into a railing and begin to pour out smoke.
"It was a mess of cars coming to a stop, which was a good thing because it could have caused some serious damage to a lot of folks."
Both drivers sustained injuries during the accident. Both were treated for minor injuries and no other vehicles were involved. The driver of the semi truck has been ticked by police for failing to reduce speed.
The personal injury attorneys at Tavss Fletcher are glad to see that crash caused only minor injuries. Too often we see clients who have been seriously injured, even disabled, after an accident with a large truck. We hope that both injured parties recover quickly and fully from their injuries.
