Semi overturned – Bryan County

Traffic was forced to slow down after a semi overturned on Highway 69-75 just before eight o’clock Thursday morning two miles south of Calera.

Authorities say the back axle of a semi hauling asphalt came undone and sent the back trailer sliding off the road and flipped it on its side.

The overturn did cause several grass fires in the median where the axle ended up, but those fires were quickly extinguished.

The reason for the axle coming loose is not known, but authorities are still investigating. The driver was not hurt.
