OROFINO, ID – The Clearwater County Sheriff’s Office says there were no injuries in a logging truck crash late yesterday morning in the 4900 block of Grangemont Road. Deputies and Rescue 3 responded to the area at around 11:06 a.m.
“The accident involved a loaded logging truck, driven by 26-year-old Ryan Kiely of Lewiston Idaho. The log truck, a 2014 Kenworth, was traveling Westbound Grangemont Road, when negotiating a corner an equipment failure caused the load to break loose and flip the trailer. Ryan steered his truck into the ditch to avoid a collision with oncoming traffic. A self-loading log truck, a secondary log truck and a heavy wrecker responded to the scene to clear the roadway,” according to a press release.
All logs and trucks were cleared from the scene and the road reopened to traffic at approximately 3:19 p.m.
