Around 11 am, Friday morning, the new driver of this AT&T truck lost control of the vehicle, causing it to leave the roadway in Dead Man’s Curve, 2 miles east of Monticello on HWY 278 East.

Neither the driver, nor his trainer, was injured.

Drew County Sheriff’s deputies worked the crash scene.  Reliable Towing was called to remove the vehicle.

Thursday’s wreck in the same curve wasn’t as easy to remove.

Highway 278 at Dead Man’s Curve was closed due to multiple traffic accidents, Thursday afternoon.
