Truck rolls over, closes Parker Bridge

PARKER A semi truck and trailer rolled over onto its side Wednesday afternoon on Parker Bridge.

The truck blocked traffic onto Parker Bridge, which is also part of Route 268.

Parker Assistant Fire Chief Marcus Slaugenhoup said the driver left a nearby facility and caught the barrier as he turned onto the bridge.

Slaugenhoup said both driver and passenger were not hurt, and a truck service was called to lift the truck.

"They will probably use airbags to lift the truck back up," he said.

Slaugenhoup estimated the truck may be removed by 7 or 8 p.m.

State Police were on the scene and were investigating.

In addition to Parker Volunteer Fire Department, Clarion County, firefighters from Emlenton and Perry Township fire departments in Clarion County also assisted.
