A semi pulling a trailer loaded with a wind turbine fan overturned Wednesday afternoon, in Union County. The Sheriff’s Office reports 65-year old Douglas Gary Goldetsky, of Atkins, AR., was driving a 2020 Kenworth. When he turned south onto Joshua Avenue, a steerman in a separate vehicle advised that for some reason, the steerman lost connection with the rear axle, and advised Goldetsky to stop. Before he could do so, however, the rear wheels went into the east ditch, which in-turn, pulled the trailer and tractor into the ditch. Once in the ditch, the entire unit tipped over. The accident happened at around 1-p.m.

The driver complained if pain, but did not require immediate treatment or transport to the hospital. The Kenworth sustained $15,000 damage. A property fence sustained about $500 damage during the incident.
