📰 News we're reading

• Fiery log truck crash blocks highway and damages bridge (thethomasvilletimes.com) — Drivers in Camden should know that a fiery log truck crash on the Frank Dobson Bridge over the Alabama River briefly shut down State Highway 10 between Camden and Yellow Bluff and damaged part of the roadway. The bridge has reopened after a state inspection, but temporary plastic barriers now narrow one section, so motorists are urged to slow down and use extra caution crossing it.
