The Trucks Tires were Bald
In the social media post, the Benton County Sheriff’s Department mentioned that the truck was “clearly not road worthy” and posted pictures to back up the claim. The pictures show two different sides of the tires warn almost completely bald. The Benton County Sheriff’s Office warns to check and perform scheduled maintenance before heading out with a job. Luckily, only the ego of the truck driver was injured in the flip-over.
