Country Traffic Problems: Trucker Loses Three Tons Of Cotton
November 20, 2014
It was the kind of traffic problem you only see in the country Wednesday afternoon in Oak Grove — a 6,000 pound bale of cotton blocking part of an intersection. A truck driver for a local cotton gin apparently did not immediately notice that the cotton bale had fallen out of his truck on Highway 164 at North Highway 99. The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office stood by, directing drivers around the cotton bale until the driver returned a short time later looking for his lost cotton.

looking for my lost shaker of salt…urr lost cotton bale..
hey, this happened to me one night while I was driving home with my daughter, and there was no police to guide any traffic. I did not see it in the road until we nearly hit it… they don’t need to move this stuff at night, it could have been bad
The touch,
the feel,
the fabric of our roads.
Don’t you just hate it when that happens?
100% Cotton
Made in America
City folk think S’mores.
It looks like it baled on the truck driver.
That’s a lot of T-shirts and underwear.
If that fell out of a truck here in the city people would be calling the hazmat crew in for an unidentified object.
But officer, it never said GO.
Hey Sarge, there’s your cotton bail story lol
