A semi tractor-trailer was involved in an accident Thursday afternoon in Page County. The Sheriff’s Office reports 74-year old William Joseph Davis, of Prescott, was driving a 2001 Kenworth hauling Ag lime in a walking floor trailer, when the rig slid at the intersection of Highway 48 and E Avenue, causing the tractor and trailer to enter the west ditch, where the trailer spilled the load of soil additive onto a field and into the ditch. Davis was not injured during the accident.

Officials say the incident occurred at around 12:38-p.m. northeast of Essex as Davis was making a turn from Highway 48 onto E Avenue. The tractor / trailer combination was owned by Giza Contracting of Creston. The vehicle sustained an estimated $33,000 damage.

No citations were issued due to the road conditions of the melting snow / ice causing the roadway to become water covered ice.
