How Do You Begin To Clean Up A Full Load Of Steel On Lansing On Ramp?

First no one was hurt !! The steel business is dangerous from making , processing, and delivering steel. This unfortunate driver lost a whole load of steel weighing 45,000 lbs that is a typical load.

But once that steel is unstable on a truck its dumped. I appreciate the drivers who haul our steel. This clean up is gonna be a chore especially if there are no lifting holes. I am glad no one was hurt !!

Emergency crews were sent to US-127 in the early afternoon Tuesday on reports of an overturned semitruck on the exit ramp. On the scene, emergency responders found the truck was turned on its side, spilling the 45,000 pounds of steel it had been hauling.

Delhi Township Fire Assistant Chief Leo Allaire said the accident involved only one vehicle, the semitruck, which Allaire said was going too fast on the ramp to US-127. Crews on the scene estimated the 106 B ramp will be down for several hours.
