Semi Trailer Accident Results In Bean Spillage On I-80

Three semi trucks were involved in a roll over crash yesterday on Interstate 80, westbound at around 6 in the morning.  The accident happened near mile marker 206, east of the Brady interchange.

Deb Collins, public information coordinator with the Nebraska State Patrol, told the North Platte Telegraph, a semi hauling 50-pound bags of dried beans had over-corrected after nearly driving off the road. The bean-hauling semi rolled over ending up positioned across both lanes. Two incoming semis collided with the trailer which caused the beans to spill onto the road. The two semis didn’t overturn from the incident.

One driver involved was treated and released for a hand injury.
