HOLDREGE – A grain truck traveling southbound on south Lincoln Street in Holdrege tipped and spilled its contents along the roadway around noon on Wednesday. No injuries were reported with the accident.
Holdrege Police Chief Dennis Damoude stated that the driver was concerned about another vehicle traveling north bound on the street, where the semi-truck then fell off the road and tipped after a rear wheel made contact with a pothole. Damoude added that speed may have also caused the accident.
Damoude stated that the roadway will likely be closed to traffic until later Wednesday afternoon to clear the roadway and bring the truck back on its wheels.
The Phelps County Sheriff’s Department and Holdrege Police Department responded to the scene.
