INCIDENT NARRATIVE: Proctor was travelling southbound on US 95 near milepost 353 when he turned right onto Viola Road with enough force to break one of the chains/binders securing the cargo bin. The resulting shift of the cargo bin caused the vehicle to roll onto its drivers side, spilling the load of fertilizer onto the eastbound lane of Viola Road. The investigation of the incident determined the chains used to secure the cargo bin were of insufficient size to properly secure the cargo bin. Proctor was cited for a Federal Motor Carrier Violation for improperly securing the load. Wilbur-Ellis Corporation cleaned up the fertilizer spill.
