SANDY MUSH — A tractor-trailer overturned Saturday afternoon in a single-vehicle accident on Sandy Mush Creek Road, spilling most of its load of tomatoes into the creek.
No one was seriously injured in the accident, said N.C. Highway Patrol Trooper G. R. Reynolds. He said his investigation is continuing.
It appears that the tractor-trailer's wheels left the roadway and the narrow shoulder was unable to support its weight, flipping the truck over.
Neighbors said they have had problems with tractor-trailers driving too fast in the area. The road was closed for most of Saturday afternoon.
There were enough tomatoes in or near the creek to turn it into tomato soup or spaghetti sauce, but most remained in carboard boxes.
I can't confirm yet, but the fireman in the creek in

is a volunteer fireman and now works at
Billy Graham's 'The Cove.'
