RAINSVILLE, Ala.— A dump truck hauling asphalt milling overturned on Garrett Street on Wednesday, April 11, 2018.

According to Rainsville Police Chief Kevin Smith, weather was a factor.  “The ground was soft due to the heavy rain that we have been having. The weight and the soft dirt caused the wheels to mar and the driver lost control,” said Smith. “I do not know where the truck was going.”

In a Southern Torch investigation, we found that the asphalt milling was from the road project in Fyffe and was being delivered to a developing subdivision in Rainsville.
