DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department investigating semi crash

The DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department says that an inattentive semi driver went off the road and spilled a load of steel. Investigators in DeKalb County said a flatbed semi driven by 39 year old Travis W. Maldeney of Auburn, told police he was not aware of how close he was to the edge of the roadway when his semi and trailer dipped onto the shoulder and overturned. Authorities say the crash caused thousands of pounds of steel trusses to spill into a grassy area. Maldeney was cited for false and fictitious registration on the tractor-trailer. The truck sustained approximately $150,000 in damage, according to the report from the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Department.
