Shortly after lunch Friday afternoon, February 9, 2007, a transport truck hauling propane attempted to do a U-turn from Hwy 412 across from the Hwy 91 junction with Hwy 412 and over turned into the ditch when the truck's trailer tires fell off the culvert into the ditch. The HAZ-Mat Team along with the Walnut Ridge Fire Department Rescue were called to the scene. Highway 412 was blocked, by police and fire department personal from Walnut Ridge, Pocahontas and Hoxie, as well as several streets that would lead to the area on Hwy 412. Residents and businesses was evacuated within a several block radius and the other residents further away than the two blocks were asked to stay in doors to avoid injury should the tank explode before it's propane's load was off loaded into another truck.
