House being moved falls off trailer, blocks Iredell Co road

No one was injured when a house fell off a trailer on an Iredell County road Wednesday morning.

According to the North Carolina State Highway Patrol, the house was being moved in the 200 block of Snow Creek Road when it came off a trailer. The house is sitting in the road, troopers say.

The accident happened just after 4:00 am.

A witness told WBTV that the rear wheels on the driver's side of the trailer dropped into a four foot drop-off on the side of the road. When the trailer came up out of the hole, the house bounced off the long beams on which it was sitting.

The house was blocking the roadway. Crews were on scene trying to fix the home.

The house had already been transported approximately 25 miles from Troutman, and was just a mile away from its final destination on Tomlin Mill. Road.

Snow Creek Road is blocked while crews clear the scene.

A representative with the NC DOT said that the clean up would likely take several hours.
