A wheel apparently flew off a logging truck as it rounded a sharp turn near
Kenneth Keaton's resident on Route 16 near Minnora, causing the loaded
vehicle to go out of control and come to rest on its side next to the West
Fork River.
The driver of the vehicle escaped uninjured in the Thursday afternoon
accident.

The wheel went airborne and struck a new steel gate that was just erected
by Keaton, bending it. Keaton said another driver destroyed another gate a
few weeks ago.
The truck was owned by a logging company near Summersville.
