An
Eastpoint man drove a semi truck into the Apalachicola Bay last
Friday after suffering a coughing fit.
The
Highway patrol said 54 year old Rocky Shiver was heading east on
Highway 98 just before 8 o'clock Friday morning; he was near 10th
street in Eastpoint when he started coughing.
He
accidentally turned right, went off the highway, and then went across
the shoulder of the road and over a rock revetment before coming to a
stop about 150 feet into the bay.
The
truck did not overturn and Shiver was not injured.
Environmental
officials from the Department of Environmental Protection were called
to the scene and said there was no fuel leak.
A
local contractor was called to remove the truck from the mud using an
excavator.
