From the Winston Salem Journal, and I was just on that road early last night to boot!
"Southbound lanes of U.S. 52 in northern Winston-Salem remain closed this morning and are expected to be at least partially closed through the morning commute as a result of a tractor-trailer crash that occurred last night.
The morning commute will be further complicated by a thick layer of fog that is blanketing the Triad this morning, police said. In the area around the accident on U.S. 52, visibility has been reduced to about 200 feet because of the fog, police said this morning.
The wreck occurred between N.C. 66 and the Ziglar Road bridge. The truck, which was carrying 40,000 pounds of ammunition ran off U.S. 52 South last night about 5:30 p.m., police said, spilling the ammunition and diesel fuel near the highway.
The driver, Roger Leppala, 59, of Farmington, Minn., was taken to Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center for injuries that were not considered life-threatening.
Police said one lane of the highway may be re-opened around 7 a.m. to help with the commute, but significant delays should still be expected. Southbound traffic is being detoured onto N.C. 66 at exit 117 to University Parkway.
The National Weather Service has issued a dense fog advisory for most of central North Carolina, with visibilities reduced to less than a quarter of a mile in many places. The advisory is in effect until 9 a.m."
My question is how many rounds in 40,000 lbs?
