Picket Car Nail Attack Delays Road Travel
Nails scattered on the road from Andersons west of Indiana to West Lebanon were set to disrupt truck traffic. The State Highway Department cleared about one hundred pounds of nails painted to blend with the road surface. Officials suspect malicious intent and oil or tar was used to treat the nails. Many wagon coal mines line the area and the aim may have been to hinder coal shipments to Indiana. After sweeping, officials say most nails are removed and travel should not be interrupted.
