Two Men Hurt As Big Truck overturns Route 40 crash
Early this afternoon an empty tractor-trailer struck a power pole and overturned on Route 40 near Ridgeville, injuring two Knoxville men James H. Monday and Carson Wood. Monday, the driver, suffered head injuries, possible rib fracture and other injuries while Wood had a cut ankle and possible fractured nose. The Wood Produce Company tractor-trailer owned by Harrisonburg firm was towed after damage to the pole, with state police at the scene. The incident followed another tanker-trailer accident earlier that day that closed Route 40 for hours, marking a third blockage in less than a week at Snyder's Curve. Police noted wet roads and multiple skids, with eight to ten men unloading turkeys before righting the trailer. No charges were filed.
