Motorists traveling through Cedar Bluff were inconvenienced for a short period of time Wednesday morning with a portion of Highway 68 close to Union State Bank being closed after an 18-wheeler left metal shavings in its wake.
The vehicle was actually pulled over by Centre Police for having his rear doors open.
The Cedar Bluff Fire Department was dispatched to the scene to wash down that area, with the roadway being re-opened to traffic in less than thirty minutes.
Cedar Bluff Police Chief Steve Walden says that it has yet to be determined, if the driver will be cited in connection with the incident.
