18 Wheeler Turns Over, Loses Heavy Load, LIVINGSTON, October 6, 2020 - At approximately 12:05 am on October 6, 2020, an 18 wheeler hauling some kind of heavy equipment with huge electric motors and giant pulleys was south-bound on the US-59 bypass south end. For some reason, the driver lost control as his rig turned over. The heavy equipment flew apart and slid all over the pavement of the south-bound side of 59 and onto the south-bound feeder. Allegiance Ambulance Service was dispatched to the scene along with the Livingston Volunteer Fire Department and Officers from Livingston Police Department. All traffic on the south-bound side of the bypass was blocked. The feeder had one pathway for vehicles to trickle through one at a time. The driver (whose name we don't yet have) was not injured (and does not speak any English). At time of press (1 am), the mess is still being cleaned up.
Debris slid all over the south-bound side of the US-59 bypass.
The driver was not injured.
The pavement of the bypass was littered with debris.
