Old Ocean City Road Closed


If you plan on traveling down Old Ocean City Road near Esham Rod, DON'T! They just closed off the road due to a grain truck, (as seen above) going completely off the road. It's too soon to tell why, it is what it is.

WIND! Thats what it is. Wind will pick a big truck up and flip it on it's side before you know what is going on. It happens. It's one of the many risks involved in hauling.

I can guarantee you the bay bridges are closed to all trucks today. Been there, done that to many times.

Yeah, I'm josh with simpsons towing & recovery. Just finished getting that tractor trailer out of the ditch. Lucky it didn't turn completely over. He was empty and it was very gusty out there. caught edge of the road and thats all she wrote. Road is open now. lost probably 100 gals of diesel in ditch

Happy there's a way to see stuff and know what's going on in time to be useful...not when I'm home for the evening and sitting on the couch. Thanks for the travel info.

Thanks for visiting AND filling us in Josh. It's good to get an update letting everyone know the road is back open.

lol yeah if it would have gotten too rough i'd call in one of my other 10 wreckers. but if we called ole' adkins i'd bring the chewing tabbaco and he could bring his antique wrecker collection!

How long had the incident been in progress before you go there to snap this picture?

Now there is a good ole boy if ever there was one. Bob Simpson and I don't mean that in a condescending way. Bob is a good man, I just hope his son Jeff turns out to be half the man he is.

Um Josh, wouldn't hurt none to put some polish on those trucks.

I think if you figure who took that picture you can find the mole.

i talked it over with my grandfather and uncle. and they agree about the polish on the wreckers and would like to know when you can come do it? and what do you charge.
