Wrecked City Trash Truck Out of Service- Video
October 26th, 2022 by Joe Burgess
Around 9 AM, Tuesday morning, as the Monticello residential side-arm trash truck was turning in at First Freewill Baptist Church, an eastbound pick-up truck collided with the rear of the vehicle, causing substantial damage to the suspension and working area of the trash truck.
No one was injured, and the largest contributing factor to the accident was glare from the sun.
According to Mayor Paige Chase, the truck is out of order, until after insurance adjusters make a decision on repairability and replacement times.
There is no Wednesday city, trash pick up, but the county is always very willing to offer a back up truck for the city to use, during times like these. More information will become available as it is release.
