FREEPORT, N.Y. (WABC) --
A tractor trailer overturned in Nassau County Sunday morning, causing quite the mess.The crash happened just before 7 a.m. in Freeport.
Officials said the truck driver was attempting to turn off Sunrise Highway onto South Main Street, when the truck turned over into scaffolding.
The truck driver was being treated for minor injuries.
Crews worked for hours to get the truck upright and make sure the scaffolding is stable.
The tractor trailers can easily rollover or flip or crash if the driver is not careful in negotiating a turn or a curve. Unstable load, speed, bad tires, wet surfaces, evasive maneuver will do the trick. So, please be careful when you drive these big rigs as it does not take much to destroy the truck, cause property damage, delays and lose your life or injure other people. Trucks can be lethal machines and should be treated as such when you drive them.
