(Update, The rock crusher was winched back up on the road and parked to one side by a pair of monster tow trucks.)

Here’s what I’ve got so far on the accident at the hairpin curve just north of Moose Creek Road…

According to Randy Kenyon, whose house is being used for phone communications, a rock crusher being transported to the Whale Creek pit by the road contractor working on the project at the top end of the North Fork Road fell off its trailer as the driver attempted to navigate the hairpin curve north of the Moose Creek area. They’ve managed to clear the road through that section, but the rock crusher, a 105,000 pound piece of equipment, is sitting just off the road and will require a crane to retrieve it. At some point, the road will be blocked while the crane is in use. I have no information at this time when that will happen.

There were no injuries other than wounded pride.
