Cross-island traffic was interrupted when Route 10 Centerline Road was blocked for an extended period early Friday afternoon, June 19, after a mid-island, almost head-on crash involving a Public Works Department dump truck carrying an abandoned vehicle heading west and a Penn’s Trucking tractor hauling an empty dumpster heading to Coral Bay. The vehicles collided east of the overlook in Estate Rustenberg and Adventure with minor injuries but significant damage to the vehicles.
The Penn truck was moved from the scene within hours of the crash while the PWD truck was left inoperable on the south shoulder of the road.
