A hay truck in the upcountry region lost control Monday afternoon, resulting in a dramatic wreck similar to another hay truck accident that had occurred in the same spot last year. According to witnesses at the scene, the massive 18-wheeler collided with three passenger vehicles headed East on Hwy 88. Witnesses indicated the truck had been traveling too fast in the West bound direction when it lost control, skidded into a sedan, and pushed the vehicle into a tree on the side of the road, snapping the tree like a twig and leaving both the broken tree and piles of hay atop the sedan. In the process of that collision, the hay truck also swept another car off the road like a toy and collided head on with yet another vehicle. The truck then rolled over on its top and came to rest alongside the second vehicle which was now in a ditch upside down, on the side of the road. The dramatic rescue effort involved fire fighters and law enforcement from a number of surrounding agencies. The wreck initially stopped traffic, which was then filtered past the wreck over the course of several hours. Although no severe injuries have been reported, four people were taken to the hospital, three of those by helicopter.
