Manure Truck Hit by Train Yesterday

Emergency responders in Mabton weren't happy yesterday.

Mid-day yesterday a semi-truck pulling a load of manure tried to beat a train on Phillips Road.

As you may guess, a semi-truck trying to beat a train did not end well.

The train destroyed the trailer and damaged the truck, spilling the contents all over the roadway: manure.

The truck driver was cited for his bad driving, but forcing him to clean the road by himself should definitely be part of the punishment.
