Tri-City Herald

A truck driver slipped off a steep mountain road south of Benton City on Friday, said the Benton County Sheriff’s Office.

The driver drove off North McBee Road, leaving the truck stranded on the hillside, said Sgt. Scott Surplus.

The man was not hurt but couldn’t get the truck back up the slope and neither could a tow truck.

Surplus said the driver was arranging for a way to get the truck back on the road.
