Inexperienced Trucker Gets Rerouted To Local Roads, Takes Down Poles And Damages Buildings

A truck driver told police he had”little experience” driving through local roads after getting stuck in a town in Ohio around 2 a.m. on Thursday.

According to police reports, the driver missed a turn onto Interstate 71 and was rerouted through the tight local streets in the Cincinnati neighborhood of Mt. Adams. He had reportedly only been driving for three weeks.
