Semi-truck collision spills cornmeal on highway, Rutherford County TN


A semi-truck collided with a maintenance attenuator truck on eastbound Highway 41 near Tennessee. The semi-tractor overturned onto its side and the trailer went off the road into a rock wall. About 35,000 pounds of cornmeal spilled from the truck. One male occupant in his early 50s complained of back pain. Emergency responders and maintenance teams were called to the scene. The right lane was blocked and the road may be closed for some time.
