Davison County – A freak truck accident at the Davison-Aurora county line has left 394th Avenue closed, backing up traffic on both the east and west lanes.
According to authorities, the accident occurred at around 10:30 a.m. Thursday. A semi pulling a low-boy trailer hooked the railroad track when it was going over the crossing at 394th Avenue between Old Highway 16 and 253rd Street.
