Thursday, November 29th, 2007 |

A Myrtle Creek woman is lucky to be alive after crashing under a semi trailer Tuesday night.

Douglas County Sheriff’s Deputies say 35-year-old Renae Wilson was heading eastbound through the construction zone on the overpass at the Tri City interchange, when a semi pulled out from the northbound off-ramp to go over the bridge.

Wilson apparently never saw the truck in time to even slow down, and crashed under the trailer.

The impact sheared off the top of the Toyota Camry, and bent the back axles of the trailer.

Wilson had to be extricated with the Jaws of Life by the Tri City Fire Department, but amazingly, the woman survived the crash, although police say she had several injuries. However, none appeared to be life threatening.

The truck driver, driving for Trucking Company Inc, from San Bernardino, California, was not injured.

Concrete truck remains in the marsh

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007 |

 A simple highway accident

A concrete truck that ran off Sea Island Road into the marsh spent Thanksgiving Day there still lying on its side as officials tried to come up with a way to move it.

Three tow trucks failed Wednesday to lift the 73,000-pound load - which includes 10 cubic yards of now hardened concrete - but succeeded only in tearing up part of a recently paved road. The truck is leaking diesel fuel and other fluids, and officials say they are contacting the insurer for the East Coast Concrete Co. to get things moving.

Most officials agree a crane will be required to get the it out of the marsh.

The accident resulted when the driver of the truck swerved to miss another vehicle and ran off the roadway, Glynn County Police Chief Matt Doering said.

Sea Island Road was blocked during the first attempt to remove the truck.

Glynn County Fire Department Capt. R. W. Kohlheim pointed out a definite oil sheen on some standing water in the marsh Friday and said in addition to diesel fuel, some of the spill could be transmission fluid or motor oil.
