18 WHEELER TURNS OVER, LIVINGSTON TEXAS, 06/15/23...

18 Wheeler Turns Over, No Injuries, LIVINGSTON, June 15, 2023 - Shortly before 2 pm on June 15, 2023, the driver of an 18 wheeler logging truck was north-bound on US-59 just north of the Livingston City Limits. The driver suddenly had to slow down for heavy traffic, but his brakes failed. The driver cut right and left the pavement to avoid striking another vehicle. The driver drove into a ditch area this caused his loaded 18 wheeler to have a load shift. The weight of the logs turned his rig over on the driver's side. Fortunately, there were no injuries. Trooper Johnny Wilkerson with the Texas Highway Patrol was dispatched to investigate. A heavy duty wrecker was sent for to clean up the mess.
