Tractor-Trailer Cement Mixer flips over in Gurnee. : A loaded tractor-trailer cement mixer flipped over on the Rt.21 to Rt.120 entrance ramp in Gurnee, injuring the driver. The truck rolled into a deep ditch that was wet from heavy rains and it quickly sank into the soft mud from it's heavy weight. The Gurnee Police called Wildwood Service to the scene and the Cement Company called Northern Towing. Due to the steep, muddy ditch and the weight of the truck the decision was made to use wreckers from both Wildwood and Northern to recover the truck and save the load. With the cement laying on one side of the drum, the position of the truck laying in the steep ditch and the mud that the heavy truck sank into made this recovery a hard one. Throw in 90 hot and humid degrees and you got yourself a fun morning. With crews from both companies working together as a team they were able to recover the truck and tow the mixer back to it's shop were crews were able to safely remove the load before it hardened.
