A friend shared this photo with the Journal of this 18-wheel flatbed that wound up sideways across the highway, with its cab resting in the ditch.  “Thought it might be of some news interest,” he said.

The Winn Parish Sheriff’s Office confirmed that they had been involved in traffic control while the road was cleared but as to details, the matter on Hwy 84 west between the Collins Camp Road and the Durham Camp Road was handled by the State Police.

But apparently it’s not that rare for a similar incident occurred about a week earlier when a truck that failed an attempted turn-around blocked Hwy 84 east near the double bridges.  A wrecker had to be brought in.  (No picture available).

Then back on March 4, the Sheriff’s Office did have photos of a chip truck that overturned about 4:30 p.m. on Hwy 124.  No one was injured in any of the incidents.
