INCIDENT NARRATIVE:

Hardisty was travelling westbound on US12 near milepost 166.9 when he failed to negotiate a corner causing his two trailers to go off the right shoulder. The second trailer struck a rock causing it to roll on its side and become disconnected from the tractor. 24,000 lbs of grain was spilled in the ditch. Hardisty was able to regain control and keep the tractor and first trailer on the road. The westbound lane was blocked for three hours. Speed and weather conditions were contributing factors to the crash.
