Tractor-Trailer Fails to Negotiate Turn
This big tractor-trailer outfit, owned by the
St. Paul (Minn.) Transportation Lines, failed
to negotiate the West O’Neill curve about 6 o’
clock Monday morning while headed west
bound. The driver, Rex Alton of St. Paul, told
Holt County Sheriff Leo Tomjack “the corner
come up too fast.” The relief driver, Lyle Methe
of Hector, Minn., was in the cab’s “sleeper.”
Damage to the overturned truck was estimated
at one-thousand-dollars, according to Tomjack.
The cargo of horse meat, stored in barrels, was
transferred to another truck and continued on
to the West coast. Neither Alton nor Methe was
hurt.—The Frontier Photo.
