Arizona Highway Patrol State
Arizona Highway Patrol State Troopers Wednesday responded a tractor-trailer collision on Interstate 40 near Winona Road in the north central part of the state.
A flatbed trailer loaded with steel was legally parked on the emergency lane due to a flat tire with emergency triangles placed behind the vehicle, according to the troopers.
A truck loaded with eggs failed to properly navigate the curve in the road and collided with the flatbed trailer. The egg truck came to its final rest upright, blocking the westbound traffic lanes and spilling thousands of eggs onto the highway.
The flatbed driver was uninjured. The egg truck driver was transported for non-life-threatening injuries, the troopers said.
With the help from ADOT, the road was cleared for regular traffic to resume
In a social media post, the troopers said, " When driving a larger vehicle or a truck, watch your speed! Larger vehicles take longer to slow and need lower speeds when navigating curves to stay upright. Stay alert, watch your speed, and always truck safely."
