NON-INJURY TRUCK CRASH LEADS TO LUMBER SPILL PARTIALLY BLOCKING HIGHWAY 101 IN TILLAMOOK COUNTY

A commercial truck driver was cited following an early Wednesday morning non-injury crash in which a load of lumber spilled onto Highway 101 north of Cloverdale, partially blocking the highway for several hours.

On July 9, 2014 at approximately 4:24 a.m., a Peterbilt truck pulling two trailers loaded with lumber driven by GUY HOLLIS JR, age 51, from Tillamook, was traveling southbound on Highway 101 near milepost 77. As the truck and trailers traveled through a curve, they went off the roadway and struck and embankment where the truck detached from the lead trailer. Both trailers stopped abruptly, causing the lumber to shift forward and spill onto the highway.

HOLLIS was not injured. He was cited by OSP for Careless Driving.
