    Some central Albany eyesores are coming down to make way for what leaders hope will be a thriving mixed-income community.

Two semi trucks collided near the Huddle House, blocking the northbound lanes of U. S. 19 in Pelham. One trailer over turned.

One semi truck pulled out of the intersection of Progressive Avenue and U. S. 19, and struck another semi that was headed north on U. S. 19.

The semi that overturned was owned by Columbia Grain, and was carrying grain pellets, which are used to feed pigs. David Ross was driving the truck.

One North bound lane and one South bound lane remain closed.

Authorities say they could be on the scene several more hours.

Police are not aware of any injuries at this time.

We will have more information on the wreck later.
