-Clark County authorities are investigating a one vehicle crash that resulted in the closing and rerouting of traffic on State Highway 73 by Lovers Road.On Sunday evening, just after 5pm, the Clark County Sheriff's Office received a report of an accident on Highway 73 near the intersection of Lovers Road in the Township of Warner.
The initial investigation reveals that a semi-tractor trailer, driven by 63-year-old Glen Kraus of Utah, was traveling north and attempted to turn around in a private driveway. While he was pulling back onto the highway, he cut the corner too sharp and caused the driver side trailer tires to enter the ditch. The trailer then flipped over, completely blocking Highway 73.
Traffic had to be rerouted for 6 hours while crews removed the truck and nothing leaked from the trailer which was full of butter fat. The Clark County Sheriff's Office is continuing the investigation.
