Semi crashes on curve into Albany

A semi-truck hauling galvanized pipe flipped inside the Albany city limits early Friday morning, Sept. 26, causing significant property damage and a temporary road closure after striking multiple structures along Highway 6.

The wreck occurred at approximately 6:30 a.m. as the northbound truck entered town. Traveling too fast for the curve near the intersection of Highway 6 and South Pecan Street, the vehicle hit the guard rail, then collided with an unoccupied vehicle parked just beyond the barrier.
