An semi truck reportedly overturned at the intersection of Shelton Shop and Winding Creek roads Saturday.
No injuries were reported in the crash. The road was closed for a brief time while crews worked to upright the overturned truck.
A Stafford sheriff’s deputy was stationed on the northbound side of the two-lane Shelton Shop Road just before the crash and had blocked traffic at 11 a.m. No sheriff’s deputy was present on the other side of the crash, so drivers that turned around to avoid the crash signaled to other to do the same.
The truck appeared to have been traveling on Winding Creek Road. The small two-lane road lives up to its “winding” namesake. The tractor trailer overturned at a sharp curve where Winding Creek intersects with Shelton Shop Road.
Trucks are prohibited from traveling on Winding Creek Road, according to signs posted in the area.
Today’s incident is nearly a repeat of an August, 2014 incident when another semi became stuck at the same intersection and required assistance from the sheriff’s office.
A dump truck overturned at the same intersection in May injuring four people.
