No injuries after semi-truck crashes into warehouse
There were no injuries when a tractor-trailer truck went off U.S. 412 going south and ran into a Jackson business Friday, according to fire officials.
The building, at 2703 Bells Highway, houses Southeastern Pond Management, a business that stocks ponds with fish.
The accident the 18-wheeler veered off the highway onto an embankment and through a fence before crashing into the warehouse, according to Jackson police Officer Jon Hasz .
The truck cab and half of the trailer were inside the building Friday after it plowed through a brick wall.
“It could have been much worse,” Hasz said. “If the concrete had given way when the truck had come down here, then it would be a whole different story.”
Manager Jeff Slipke said he feels lucky the accident was not worse. The building was empty at the time of the accident since it was Thanksgiving weekend, he said.
