    logo_verdevalleyfiredistrictClarkdale AZ (March 20, 2018) – On Monday, March 19, at approximately 12:10 PM, the Verde Valley Fire District (VVFD) responded to a report of a Cement Truck rollover on Highway 89A at the intersection of Lisa Street.

    VVFD was initially dispatched to “wash down” a fuel spill. On arrival they found a cement truck that was lying on its side with diesel fuel leaking from its fuel tank. The 79,000 pound vehicle was loaded with powdered cement and was entering the roundabout intersection when one of its rear tires failed. Fortunately no other automobiles were involved and the driver was unhurt in the accident.

    Clarkdale Police were dispatched first and had set up traffic control. When VVFD’s Engine 311 arrived they checked the vehicle for stability and safety and set to work containing the fuel spill. The Engine Company stayed on scene for approximately four hours to provide safety and backup while a heavy wrecker and crane were called in to right the truck and haul it away.

    The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has shown that roundabouts reduce crashes by 75% at intersections where stop signs or signals were previously used. That being said, they are still areas of danger due to changing lanes, changing speeds, and turns. Please stay cautious.

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
