Trucks Dump Load 3 Times In Same Yard

Baack · Aug 1, 2010

WHITING, Maine -- There's something fishy in Whiting, Maine.

For the third time, a fish truck has accidentally dumped its load in Esther MacLaughlin's front yard, located on a sharp turn near the intersection of Route 189 and Route 1.

Maine State Police say a truck carrying at least 22,000 pounds of lobster-bait herring overturned on the curve Saturday, spilling its cargo and injuring the driver.

Trooper Andrew Foss tells the Bangor Daily News the driver blew a tire as he drove through the curve, causing the truck to flip on its side. The driver was hospitalized with leg injuries. The truck sustained $25,000 in damage.

Robin McPhail says her mother lives near a bad intersection, calling it "a really bad corner" with many accidents.

Haha some one else is noticing the wonderful art of driving in Maine. Towns that have no need to post signs that the road was not built up for traffic to negotiate a turn faster than 20 mph.

So the town posts the road for 45 and may you hold the road on your own. LOL
