Semi gets stuck on closed road

AINSWORTH — A semi truck went past a road closure sign between Ainsworth and Columbus Junction Tuesday morning, where the vehicle became stuck shortly thereafter.

A police Call For Service log said driver Marcus Madison of Indianapolis was cited for failure to obey a traffic control device after the incident, on a commuter route closed for the next several months as contractors from C.J. Moyna & Sons reconstruct the pavement.

C.J. Moyna Partial Owner Adam Kos said the incident did not disrupt construction or damage the roadway.

“(It) was just your classic driver who goes around the road closed barricades to find that there is a new box culvert being constructed, tried to turn around in a farmers field entrance, and got stuck,” Kos said.

The CFS report said a caller had requested additional police patrols to the area, and said the vehicle was moved with assistance from Holiday Towing.
