Big wreck shut down section of Corinth road for a very long time
SUMMARY: A section of Highway 72 in Corinth has reopened after several hours of closure due to an 18-wheeler that tipped over while making a turn. Chief Landon Tucker reported that the semi’s load shifted, causing the trailer to fall on its side and knock down a power pole and line. The truck was carrying metal and steel, which spilled onto the highway. Cleanup efforts took until 3:45 AM to complete, but fortunately, the driver was not injured in the incident. Traffic is now back to normal following the removal of the debris on Highway 72 and 45.
A wreck involving an 18-wheeler shut down a Corinth intersection for many hours.
SUMMARY: Parts of the region could see storms on Father’s Day, with highs in the upper 80s to low 90s and heat indices in the upper 90s. Afternoon storms may bring gusty winds and hail, though severe weather is not expected. Monday follows a similar pattern with scattered afternoon storms. A high-pressure system will move in by Thursday, bringing well-above-average temperatures. Heat indices may reach 107–110 degrees by Friday, especially west of I-55 in Mississippi. The week ahead will remain hot and humid, with increasingly oppressive heat expected through the weekend. Stay weather-aware and hydrated amid the steamy conditions.
