A scary moment this morning could have been much worse after a grain truck tipped over on the railroad tracks in Mentone. It happened around 7:30am on Main St. after the truck reportedly lost a tire on the railroad tracks, got stuck, and then rolled over.
Almost the entire load of grain fell out of the truck. Initial reports indicated the driver of the truck was injured, however we now know that the driver was evaluated by EMS, but refused treatment. Trains were unable to pass through the intersection for nearly an hour while crews worked to clean up the scene. The crash continues to be investigated.
