Tyson Chicken Truck Rolls Over on County Road

November 23, 2016 - County Road 3267 was the scene of a live haul truck tractor rollover on Wednesday, November 23, 2016 sometime before 7pm one mile from FM 414.

Although the 18-wheeler had been traveling on the roadway hauling chickens, it had stopped and the driver was giving another vehicle traveling in the opposite direction opportunity to pass. While the truck sat idle, the roadway gave way and caused the truck to overturn.

The truck was loaded with cages full of chickens, which somehow managed not to break open during the incident. Hopkins Towing and Recovery was dispatched to the scene with large wrecker trucks to right the vehicle, which they were successful in doing three hours after the incident occurred.

No injuries occurred as a result and the load of chickens was moved to another truck once the area was cleared.
