July 21, 2016 - The California Highway Patrol reports on Wednesday, July 20, 2016 at 11:50 A.M. Arthur Nelson Gerow, 59, of Coarsegold was driving a 2008 Freightliner three axle dump truck while pulling a two axle dump trailer east on Bear Valley Road, east of Mt. Gaines Road.

For reasons as yet to be determined, the right rear dual of the two axle dump trailer lost pressure and overturned while still attached to the Freightliner. The truck remained upright and no injuries were sustained during the course of this collision.

The two axle dump trailer was carrying a load of gravel which was spilled onto the road. Mariposa County Roads responded to the scene to assist with clean up and the property owner was notified of damage to a fence as a result of this collision.

The westbound lane of Bear Valley Road was blocked for approximately 3 hours.
