KANAWHA COUNTY, W.Va. — Authorities in Kanawha County, West Virginia, are searching for a truck driver after they found a wrecked tractor-trailer Thursday morning on a hillside along Hurricane Road near the town of Frame.
Police said they believe the truck driver was trying to make their way through a series of sharp curves when the rig left the road and tumbled around 50 feet down a steep hill. The truck was hauling a flatbed trailer full of lumber.
Police think that the driver was misguided by a GPS because “the road is not suitable for large trucks.”
