A LaGrange man was shaken, but not hurt Monday afternoon when his truck carrying biscuit mix overturned at the Whitesville Road exit on Interstate 85.

The trailer went off the right side of the ramp onto rain-softened grass. Reggie Perry, 32, a driver for MBM Transportation in LaGrange, was able to pull the truck back onto the ramp, but the load shifted and the truck went off the left side of the ramp and overturned, said state trooper Sgt. 1st Class D.M. Blevins.

He said the ramp was blocked for about three hours.

The wreck occurred after 2 inches of rain fell in LaGrange.

A repeat of Monday’s soggy condition is forecast for Wednesday, and the National Weather Service has issued a flash flood watch for parts of central and north Georgia from late tonight through Wednesday evening.

A broad area of heavy rain will move into the watch area after midnight tonight and spread eastward through Wednesday night. Rainfall amounts of 2 to 4 inches are likely, generally north of a line from LaGrange to Macon to Louisville.

The forecast for Troup County calls for a 100 percent chance of rain Wednesday, 70 percent Thursday and 20 percent Friday. Temperatures will fall into the upper 40s Friday night and the lower 40s Saturday.

Several rivers and creeks remain in or near flood after Monday’s heavy rainfall, and soils are saturated over parts of north and central Georgia, forecasters said.

Additional heavy rainfall tonight into Wednesday will quickly run off into creeks, rivers and streams resulting in rapid rises and potentially more significant flooding, the Weather Service said. Localized areas may experience flash flooding.

A flash flood watch means that conditions may develop that lead to flash flooding. Forecasters said flash flooding is a very dangerous situation and urged motorists not to drive across areas where water covers the road.
