A tractor trailer wreck on I-79 Sunday turned from an accident to a blessing. The semi was traveling Northbound on the interstate when the driver lost control of the vehicle, causing the truck’s box trailer to careen over the interstate bridge at the Big Otter exit. The contents of the trailer spewed onto Route 16 below, hindering traffic. The cargo consisted entirely of Healthy Choice frozen dinners and with the trailer rendered unusable, the dinners needed to be refrigerated so they wouldn’t ruin. A call was made and Tom and Freda Auxier headed north. A majority of the dinners were donated to the Christian Service Center, a food pantry in Lizemores, which was recently a victim of theft. The trucking company was glad to make the most of the situation. Clean up of the site lasted into the night on Sunday and resumed on Monday morning. No one was injured in the accident.
