Shortly before 3:00 P.M. Tuesday afternoon the Walnut Ridge Fire Department and Walnut Ridge Rescue Truck was called to a single vehicle accident on the by-pass under the over pass where Hwy 67 crosses over Hwy 63 in the South bound lane. The vehicle turned out to be a transport truck that was either over loaded or was going too fast on the ramp getting onto Hwy 63 South, over turned and blocked all four lanes of the by-pass. The Highway was blocked most of the afternoon and into the evening unloading it's load and taking precautionary efforts preventing a diesel spill from the transport fuel tanks. No one was injured in the accident but a passenger of the transport was taken to St Benards in Jonesboro by Medic One Ambulance.
