(WALTER HILL Community)  A Wednesday crash with heavy debris closed state highway 231-North (Lebanon Road) at Alsup Mill for several hours. An 18-wheeler hauling garbage overturned and dumped its content over the roadway. 

The driver of the tractor-trailer truck was injured. Paramedics treated him on-the-scene and rushed him to the ER.

The big rig evidently slid down both lanes of the highway, dumping garbage along the way and then finally coming to rest covering both traffic lanes as well as extending into the land on both sides of the 231-N. 

Thank you to the agencies who worked for several hours with this accident scene: Rutherford Fire and Rescue firefighters, Rutherford County Emergency Medical Services paramedics and and Tennessee Highway Patrol troopers.
