Background
- On the evening of Monday, Aug. 28, a cement truck rolled off the road and onto a minivan near Tower Junction. The five occupants of the minivan were extricated and moved to safety. Crews removed parts of the cement truck; however, due to the hardened cement inside, the drum of the truck had to remain on scene until special equipment could arrive to assist with removal.
