JOHNSTON – A late night crash blocked traffic on Monument Drive in Johnston on Saturday for over an hour. Just before midnight an 18-wheeler hauling seed overturned after rounding a curve spilling fuel and seed across the roadway. Johnston Police rerouted traffic around the crash site as Johnston Firemen began spreading several bags of oil dry on the road to absorb spilled fuel and hydraulic fluid.

The driver, who first told police he was uninjured, began experiencing severe leg pain about a half an hour after the crash bringing an EMS unit to the scene. The man was treated at the scene reports indicated.

Wrecker crews worked well into the morning trying to right the truck and trailer to clear the roadway. Johnston Firemen returned to the station around 1 am. The roadway was cleared by 2 am.
