Traffic on Route 131 will be reduced to one lane for most of the day due to a tractor trailer rollover near Downers Four Corners Monday morning.
The driver of the St. Onges trailer out of Newport was uninjured. Mark Heberts, a DMV truck Enforcement officer said, after checking for mechanical defects, that the driver probably took the corner too fast and with the load he was carrying just tipped over. Hebert will be inspecting the truck and the driver’s log once the woodchips have been removed and the trailer towed.
Officers on the scene estimate that Route 131 will be closed of down to one lane most of the day. Drivers are asked to avoid the area and detour using Amsden School Rd.
