February 1, 2008
It took over two hours to clean up a hot, sticky mess following an accident Friday morning on Highway 97.
The accident happened when a concrete mixer trailer being towed southbound came loose and was struck by a northbound dump truck hauling load of hot asphalt, according to the Florida Highway Patrol. The dump truck skidded off the highway, spilling a large amount of hot asphalt into the ditch.
The driver of the dump truck and a passenger received minor injuries in the accident, which was reported at 9:18 on Highway 97 just north of Pelt Road in front of the Emmanuel Faith Center.
A bobcat loader and another dump truck were brought into remove the asphalt.
