When a call comes in from 911 that there has been a tractor trailer rollover on the sharp curve on route 104a, there is never a question as to just what the location is:
Jim Nixon sent me some photos of a crew cleaning up the spilled corn from a tractor trailer that rolled over on the sharp curve on Route 104A. This has been the scene of a number of tractor trailer rollovers. Not sure of the reason, except the curve does seem to be banked wrong and even with a car, there is a tendency to lean a little.

When I went by, it looked like they were using a huge vacuum to suck the corn into the farm wagon

Have no idea how many tons of corn were on the tractor trailer or who was transporting it.

Road was closed for three or four hours on Monday evening when the accident occurred
