Logs Spill Onto Highway 36, Temporary Road Closure for Cleanup

AI SUMMARY: A semi truck loaded with logs was involved in a traffic collision on Highway 36, with the logs spilling onto the roadway. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported. The load was not blocking the road, but there was a coolant leak from the vehicle onto the shoulder and part of the road. Both eastbound and westbound lanes were closed for an unknown amount of time for cleanup. The roadway was eventually reopened to one-way traffic.
