December 11, 2015 - The Tenaha City Marshal's Office responded to an 18-wheeler rollover at the U.S. Highway 59 on ramp at 12:35pm on Friday, December 11, 2015.
According to Tenaha City Marshal Jimmy Wagstaff, a black 2000 Frightliner hauling bundles of birch plywood from the Sveza Company within a box trailer driven by Antonio Johnson, 28, was attempting to enter U.S. Highway 59 North from U.S. Highway 59 South by way of the on-ramp. As the Freightliner traversed the on-ramp the load within the box trailer shifted and caused the 18-wheeler to roll over onto the driver's side.
Johnson stated to Marshal Wagstaff, the load had shifted the night before in Houston and had been righted on Friday morning.
As of 6pm the wood was still being unloaded from the box trailer through the roof , which was cut open, so the 18-wheeler could be righted. Marshal Wagstaff was assisted with the investigation by Deputy Tenaha City Marshal Darren Gray.
