Fertilizer Truck Spills Load South of North Platte

ag-valley-co-opCrews had quite a mess to clean up Saturday after a semi-truck loaded with fertilizer tipped over.

The accident happened at about 9:40 a.m., near the intersection of U.S. Highway 83 and State Farm Road.

North Platte Police say it appears the truck took the corner too fast, causing it to roll onto the drivers side, and spill its load of fertilizer.

The truck was owned by Ag Valley Co-Op of Edison, and was being driven by Michael Hamilton of Hayes Center.

The damage to the semi was estimated at about $10,000.

Another trailer arrived on the scene, and the majority of the fertilizer was salvaged.
