A trailer being pulled by a semi sustained $25,000 damage Wednesday morning, after it rolled into a ditch just east of Harlan. The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office says a semi driven by 51-year old Donald Dean Elridge, of Ft. Dodge, was exiting the Essentia Protein Solutions plant onto Highway 44 at around 9-a.m., when the trailer experienced mechanical problems.
When Eldridge pulled the semi off onto the shoulder of the road, the trailer became disconnected and rolled into a ditch, spilling about 5,200 gallons of beef broth. Crews were able to transfer the remaining liquid contents into another trailer, and set the damaged tanker up-right.
Crews with the Harlan Fire Department, Harlan Street Department, Officers with Harlan Police Department, Medivac ambulance personnel, along with Iowa DOT and Iowa DNR personnel, assisted at the scene. No injuries were reported.
