KANAWHA COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- For a second day in a row, Route 94 in Hernshaw is closed after a coal truck accident.
The latest accident happened around 6:15 a.m. Tuesday on Bryant Drive.
Emergency crews tell WSAZ.com the driver of the coal truck was traveling north on Route 94 about a mile from interstate when the truck overturned.
The driver was not hurt.

That was my husband that wrecked..It was a spring that broke..not his fault..he is a gd and safe driver..hes has drove for 12yrs..there is some that may not be a semi driver but not all is dumb..so before u slam coal truck drivers go ride in one and then u will see what they go there just to get heat into ur homes..i pray every morning when he leaves that he returns just because car drivers are the dumb one out there..i have rode in one and it is scary..he puts his life on the line every day ..so dont slam alll the coal truck drivers till u have rode in one and understand what all that this big machine can and cant do on a dime...and yes i almost lost him not over his driven but the danger that can go wrong with the truck thats not the drivers fault...so please stop throwing stone until u know what u r talking about...wife of a coal truck driver...

Rt. 94 is a death-trap. So many people have lost their lives and many of them have been from the LEGALLY over-loaded coal trucks!! The drivers should know how many trucks have overturned in that curve and slow way down. Something needs to be done.
