Tractor Trailer Rollover on Rte 131
Monday August 10, 2015
Rte 131 Weathersfield VT
A tractor trailer loaded with wood chips failed to negotiate
the sharp corner, locally known as "Dead Man's Corner", on Rte 131 just east of Downer's Four
Corners . The driver of the St. Onges trailer out of Newport Vt
Mark Heberts, a DMV Truck Enforcement officer said, after
checking for mechanical defects, that the driver probably took the corner too
fast and with the load he was carrying just tipped over. Hebert will be
inspecting the truck and the driver's log once the wood chips have been removed
and the trailer towed. Officers on the scene estimate that Route 131 will be
closed or down to one lane most of the day. Drivers are asked to avoid the area
and detour using Amsden School Rd.
