Box of nails reportedly spilled on West Main near River

By Howard B. Owens

A tractor-trailer has reportedly lost a box of nails on West Main Street near River Street, Batavia, and the contents are "spread out over quite a distance."

The nails are in an eastbound lane.

I went out there and saw nothing. As I drove west, two city trucks were driving east very slowly. I didn't see them stop. When I came back east, I didn't see anything, nor did I get a flat.

Howard - just because you didn't get a flat - - - yet - - - doesn't mean you didn't pick up a nail in your tire. Sometimes they have to work their way in - if you DO get a flat in the next month or two, you'll know where the nail came from.

C.M. - I wonder how many people actually recognize the name McCreary when it comes to tires , not a name you hear too often anymore
