Mt. Holly, AR – Drivers in southern Arkansas are being urged to use alternate routes today after a log truck overturned on Old Camden Road near the Ouachita County line, forcing a full closure of the roadway.
According to the Union County Sheriff’s Office, the crash occurred earlier today along Old Camden Road in Mt. Holly, blocking both directions of travel. Deputies reported that the truck overturned while traveling near the county line, spilling logs and debris across the roadway. No timeline has been released yet for when the road will reopen.
The sheriff’s office said crews are currently working at the scene to clear the overturned vehicle and remove logs from the roadway. Drivers traveling between Union County and Ouachita County may experience delays, and those heading toward Mt. Holly should plan detours until the area is cleared.
