The incident happened around 6:20 a.m., south of the Retech Business complex on August 15th, according to initial reports.
Furthermore, police said that the big rig was loaded with about 50,000 pounds of cement and caused heavy wreckage and debris on the highway after a service truck collided into them.

Because of their sheer size, large vehicles, like semi-trucks and trailers, increase the risk of a crash. So, If you’re driving one, always be mindful of your vehicle’s large height and weight. Maintain your travel lane and follow the speed limit. Also, adjust accordingly to give way for lane changes and other vehicles.
