September 22, 2008, Charlottetown, P.E.I. – A potato truck overturned in Charlottetown September 19, causing almost 32,000 kilograms of potatoes to spill onto the roadside.

The truck flipped onto its side while making a turn near the Charlottetown airport.

The woman driving the truck was a little shaken, but otherwise fine.

An investigation is underway to determine if speed was a factor.

The owner of the truck believes the load may have shifted.

The potatoes, originally destined for Cavendish Farms, will now be sold for feed.
