— The Marion County Sheriffs office tells us that deputies are on scene and investigating how a semi truck lost control on Delaney Road SE near Battle Creek Road SE, spilling its load of lumber.

Deputies know that the semi was traveling east toward Turner when the driver says he experienced brake failure causing the truck to careen through the intersection, into a rock retaining wall and finally coming to a stop in the yard of a neighboring residence.

Traffic in the area is delayed while crews clean up the spill and remove the truck.

Deputies are estimating that it will take a couple of hours before traffic will resume normally.

No injuries have been reported and motorists are being asked to seek alternate routes.
