A truck driver from Knoxville escaped injury when he lost control of his rig on Allen Ferry Road (State Highway 83) Friday afternoon.
Trooper Chris Delong of the Tennessee Highway Patrol told WJLE that 63 year old Joseph Colorusso was traveling on Allen Ferry Road toward Highway 70 in a 2015 Freightliner when the semi dropped of the right side of the road. Colorusso overcorrected and came back across the highway and went off the left side of road and jackknifed with the trailer blocking most of the roadway.
According to Trooper Delong, Colorusso was enroute to Lebanon and was hauling pallets of cardboard.
