(Cleveland)- A transport driver escaped injury when a car hauler loaded with vehicles overturned on the Appalachian Parkway Thursday morning.
Cleveland Police Chief Jeff Shoemaker said the accident happened around 7:33 AM on Georgia Highway 11 at Parkway Plaza. Cleveland police and firefighters responded to the call along with White County EMS.
Reports from the scene say the driver was attempting to turn left onto the parkway from South Main when the car hauler overturned.
Chief Shoemaker said the driver, 19-year-old Eric Charles Kumah III from Fredericksburg, Virginia was driving a 2021 Dodge 3500 Dually truck that was hauling two vans. The accident temporarily shut down parkway traffic as crews worked to clear the wreckage.
Shoemaker advised that the Georgia Department of Public Safety Motor Carrier Compliance Division (MCCD) responded and assisted with the investigation due to the vehicle being a commercial-type vehicle
