Fort Worth Man Litters 64,000 Pounds Of Toilet Paper In Idaho River

The past week Fort Worth has been being mentioned in the Pacific Northwest's TV News and Newspapers.

Due to a toilet paper accident.

A 24 year old man from Fort Worth, named Mahmoud Salameh, was hauling a load of toilet paper in Idaho, on U.S. Highway 12, along the Lochsa River, near the Montana border, slightly south of the Idaho panhandle, when he lost control on a tight turn.

The semi-trailer crashed through a guardrail and flipped over, spilling its load of 64,000 pounds of mega-rolls of toilet paper into the river.

An Idaho company, named Miles Towing, has been tasked with removing the giant toilet paper rolls from the river.

The Fort Worth driver survived the accident and was taken to Missoula's Community Medical Center. Salameh got a ticket for inattentive driving and for not purchasing a permit to haul a 53-foot trailer.

I do not know if this incident is the worst case ever of a Texan littering a non-Texas river.
