AN ACCIDENT AT NOBLE RD. AND THE WESTBOUND I-24 OVERPASS, SHUT DOWN NOBLE RD. FOR 1 1/2 HRS THIS MORNING FROM 0800 AM UNTIL 0930 AM. A 1995 LIFT TRUCK DRIVEN BY JOSEPH DEARMAN 29 OF MOSS POINT MS. STATED THE LIFT BUCKET HAD RAISED AS HE WAS GOING DOWN NOBLE ROAD AND STRUCK THE OVERPASS CAUSING THE TRUCK TO OVERTURN IN THE ROADWAY BLOCKING BOTH LANES OF TRAFFIC. NEITHER HE NOR HIS PASSENGER EARL TIDWELL 50 WERE INJURED. THE LIFT TRUCK HAS TWO SAFETY FEATURES THAT KEEP THE LIFT FROM RAISING THAT APPARENTLY FAILED.

Thanks,

Dep. Malcolm Couch
