barrels of liquid latex overturned
about three miles from Kings

The driver, J. Hugh Bartley, 21,
escaped without injury, according
to Gaston County Sheriff depart

the accident.
Bartley told the officers that
he was traveling about 45 miles
per hour when the tire went down
causing his rig to go out of con

The whitish liquid latex spilled
