Pork Truck Rollover Near Clarksdale Junction

MSHP purpleA livestock truck hauling pigs rolled onto its side Monday morning in Dekalb County. The 6:15 am wreck blocked traffic in the westbound driving lane of US-36 about a mile east of the Clarksdale Junction.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol says an ambulance was sent to the crash scene as a precaution, but there was no immediate word on injuries.

A dispatcher said a wrecker was dispatched from Cameron, and Triumph Foods was sending a vehicle to pick up the livestock.

It was not clear how long traffic would be affected. The dispatcher says one lane of traffic is getting through.
