Terrence Coleman was driven to Livingston Memorial Hospital.
Logging Truck Rolls at FM-62, MOSCOW, October 13, 2011 - At approximately 10 am on October 13, 2011, a white 1994 Freightliner logging rig driven by Terrence James Coleman, 49, of Magnolia, was north-bound on US-59 in Moscow. According to a witness, Coleman attempted a right turn onto FM-62 and was going too fast. Coleman's load apparently shifted and turned the 18 wheeler over spilling its load of large pine logs. Americare Ambulance Service was dispatched to the scene along with representatives from TXDOT, and a handful of Troopers including Trooper Darwon Evans. Coleman was treated at the scene by EMS personnel and loaded onto and ambulance and transported to Livingston Memorial Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. All traffic on FM-62 was blocked during investigation and cleanup. According to Trooper Evans, pending the complete investigation of the accident, Terrence Coleman could be cited for unsafe speed. A heavy duty wrecker and crew with Riley Wrecker Service out of Corrigan was summoned to clean up the mess. The vehicle will be stored in Corrigan.
