INCIDENT NARRATIVE: The semi was travelling north bound on US95 at mile post 260. The Dodge pick- up pulling a stock trailer was travelling south bound when the stock trailer lost a wheel and tire. The semi swerved to miss the tire and his load became unbalanced. The semi then struck the tire which broke the steering mechanism for the vehicle. The semi crossed over into the south bound lane and the trailer tipped over dumping its load of lumber across both lanes. The town and country van was travelling south bound when it swerved to avoid hitting the semi which came to rest blocking both lanes. The van struck the lumber in the roadway causing it to roll several times and came to rest in the ditch.
