CHATTANOOGA, Tenn - Monday, November 28,2011 - 4:30 pm - A semi tractor
trailer came incredibly close to being laid over on it's side when the
driver attempted to back down an entrance ramp to Interstate 24 Eastbound.
The tractor and trailer landed in a culvert on Cummings Highway. As the semi
sat in the culvert witness said they could see the trailer leaning more and
more every time the wind blew. A
Yates Wrecker Crew quickly went into action to keep the trailer from rolling
on it's side. However due to the location where the semi landed, it was a
very difficult task to remove it from the culvert without the unit turning
over. Luckily the knowledge and experience of the wrecker crew kept the
situation from becoming worse. The truck was finally brought out of the
culvert and the driver was able to continue on his way.
