18 WHEELER TURNS OVER NEXT TO SCHOOL, GOODRICH TEXAS, 06/06/23...

18 Wheeler Turns Over, GOODRICH, June 6, 2023 - Shortly after 8 am on June 6, 2023, a truck driver from Shepherd was hauling a load of wood shavings. The driver attempted to make a right turn off of the Goodrich/US-59 over pass next to Goodrich School. According to the driver, and wittnesses, the driver took the turn very slowly, but the trailer slowly turned over taking the tractor portion of the rig with it. The driver was not injured. Allegiance Ambulance Service was dispatched to the scene along with Deputies from the Polk County Sheriff's Office, the Goodrich Volunteer Fire Department, and Trooper Cotye Lowrie with the Texas Highway Patrol. At time of press (8:45 am), the mess is being cleaned up by workers and Smith Towing.
