BALDWIN COUNTY, Ala. -
UPDATE:
It appears that a 2000 International tractor-trailer rig was
traveling east when the driver left the roadway, went into the
median and jack-knifed the truck. It did not overturn; nor did it
catch fire, but a relatively small amount of fuel was
spilled.Eastbound traffic was closed completely for about 15
minutes to facilitate debris removal after which one lane was
reopened. Both lanes were reopened around 9:00 a.m.
The driver was transported to Sacred Heart Hospital by air ambulance for treatment of what is described as “minor injuries”. The rig, belonging to Dairy Fresh, was carrying dairy products and is believed to have been headed to Pensacola.
A Dairy Fresh 18 wheeler jack-knifed on Interstate-10 eastbound near the Wilcox exit early Wednesday morning. The driver had to be Life-flighted to Baptist Hospital in Pensacola. Dairy Fresh representatives say the driver, a woman, did not have life-threatening injuries. Traffic was backed up for about two hours while the truck was moved from the roadway. Traffic is back to normal along Interstate 10 now.
