No injuries in Vernon logging truck accident

Wednesday, January 21, 2015 — Issue 289

VERNON — No injuries were reported when a runaway 22-wheel logging truck collided with several trees and a stone wall on Washburn Way on Jan. 19.

The Windham County Sheriff's Office Vernon Division attributes slippery conditions from the previous day and night's ice storm as the cause of the accident.

The truck, operated by Shane's Trucking of Roxbury, N.H. “gained forward momentum after being loaded in a log landing,” according to a press release. Nobody was in the vehicle at the time.

The Vernon Fire Department was summoned to the scene to treat the leaking fluids from the truck tractor. The vehicle was extracted and removed by J&J Autobody.
