Trailer delivering lumber to Armstrong overturns blocks shy of destination

The back wheels of a trailer attached to a semiatruck overturned during a sharp turn at about 8 a.m. Thursday at the intersection of West Thornburgh Street and Lincoln Avenue in West Plains, dumping some of its load and blocking traffic at the intersection. The cab and front wheels of the trailer remained upright, and no injuries were reported for the driver, who was making a delivery to the Armstrong Flooring lumber yard a few blocks north of the intersection, off of Abe Taylor Street. Hughes Towing helped with stabilizing the trailer while West Plains police officers directed traffic around the intersection. Meanwhile the dumped lumber was offloaded while waiting for another trailer to come pick up the load.
