A 1994 International tractor-trailer overturned on Otterburn Road (Rt. 614) approximately 50 feet south of the Goodes Bridge Road (Bus. Rt. 360) intersection Thursday (Oct. 17) about 3:30 p.m. The state police report states the driver, Kawonte Eugene Ragsdale, 22, of Kenbridge, was making a right turn from Goodes Bridge onto Otterburn when the trailer’s log load shifted causing the truck to overturn. The driver sustained a minor injury. He was wearing a seat belt. There was an initial report of a fire and a fuel leakage damaged the road surface. The wreckage and the leak resulted in both lanes of Otterburn to be closed for several hours right at the time the three public schools were letting out. School buses, parents, student drivers and all other traffic had to be detoured through the Village area. The crash remains under investigation.
