Some chickens fluttered to freedom Wednesday evening after a tractor-trailer overturned in Lula. A truck for Pilgrim’s Pride flipped on its right side around 6 p.m. Wednesday at the intersection of Ga. 51/Old Cornelia Highway at Ga. 52/Lula Road. “(The driver)’s making a right-hand turn off of (Ga.) 51 ... and basically cuts it too short,” Georgia State Patrol Trooper Brodie Forrester said. The back tires got into a ditch during the turn, and the truck overturned, Forrester said.
