BROKEN BOW— A semi truck trailer detached from the truck pulling it and plunged into the creek below a Highway 2 bridge outside of Broken Bow early Tuesday evening (August 26).
The driver of the truck was able to drive away from the area without injury. He told KCNI/KBBN that he was pulling two trailers in tandem when he felt what he described as “a jolt” when the back trailer detached and left the highway to the East side, plunging into the creek that runs through the third hole at the Broken Bow Golf Club.
A pilot car was still in use on the stretch of construction area into the 6 PM hour when KCNI/KBBN left the scene. Construction crews continued to work on the highway project while responders tended to the accident scene.
