PORT ANGELES — An overturned log truck closed Tumwater Truck Route for more than three hours last week.
The Rygaard Logging truck was driving southbound when its load became unstable Thursday evening, Port Angeles Police Sgt. Jesse Winfield said.
Winfield said the driver slowed down almost to a stop “when his vehicle tipped over into the ditch.”
The rollover occurred at 5:04 p.m.
Both lanes of the road were blocked until 8:42 p.m. to allow the truck to be turned upright and the logs, some of which were dumped into a ditch, to be reloaded.
Winfield said the truck was not overloaded and that the cause is under investigation.
