An semi-tractor trailer loaded with live chickens overturned on the Cavanal Scenic Expressway at the overpass crossing highway 271 Thursday morning. The truck and a car collided and caused the cab to strike the shoulder barricade causing its load to shift and the trailer to turn onto its side, spilling its load across the highway. No one was injured in the accident and emergency crews and clean up crews were able to clear the accident scene quickly allowing traffic to resume.

Football is looming in the air — I can't wait. John Perry has got me coaching the third-grade Poteau Pirates Bandit League team, and we all went to a coaches meeting Wednesday night in Roland. It's going to be fun!
