Two Airlifted to Hospital after Collision

Two men were airlifted after a collision between a tractor trailer and a farm truck Tuesday. Trooper Hernandez of the Highway Patrol said the wreck on Old 76 at Porter Swamp happened when a truckload of sweet potatoes failed to stop at an intersection and drove into the back of an 18-wheeler.

The tractor trailer was knocked off the road. The highway was closed for hours while the wreck was cleared.
