Highway 9 just north of the Country Store in Cedar Bluff was shutdown for an extended period of time just after 12:30 on Tuesday afternoon after a big rig tried to turn around, caught the back tires of his trailer in a ditch and got stuck blocking both lanes of the road.
The Cedar Bluff Fire Department, Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office Deputies and Alabama Law Enforcement Agency Officers responded to the scene.
It only took wrecker crews around 10-15 minutes to clear the road and get traffic flowing again.
