A portion of Candler Road was closed for a time early this morning after an 18-wheeler hauling garbage overturned. This happened between Old Candler Road and I-985.
According to the Hall County Sheriff’s Office, an estimated 60,000 pounds of garbage spilled from the rig, but it was quickly cleaned up and the road was not closed as long as first feared. No one was injured.
The Georgia Department of Public Safety’s Commercial Vehicle Enforcement (CVE) is investigating.
