Army Truck Upset Ties Up Traffic
A ten wheel army truck overturned on the road causing a two hour traffic jam with a line of vehicles stretching both sides for over two miles. The driver was stunned but not seriously hurt after the top heavy load caused the upset. Traffic cleared in one direction after removal work but delays persisted for cars and Greyhounds to pass. Tourists photographed the scene and several workers were stranded briefly.
