GASTON COUNTY, N.C. — First responders said an 18-wheeler lost its load and overturned on a Gaston County roadway Wednesday afternoon.
Gaston County 911 confirmed details to WCNC Charlotte shortly after 1 p.m. along Union Road near Bud Wilson Road. While no further details were immediately available regarding when and how the truck overturned, a dispatcher said one person inside the cab was treated for minor injuries.
WCNC Charlotte viewer Emily Tucker shared photos and a video of the scene, showing the shattered 18-wheeler's windshield and the flatbed storage area empty. A yellow banner on the truck's front bumper area indicated it was carrying some kind of oversized load at the time.
