Clean-up continues after a semi truck went off the road Friday night on I-75 in Lexington. Police say the semi-truck driver went off the road and was found dead at the wheel.

Fire officials believe it was sometime Friday night that the semi truck came off the freeway up past a guard rail, then traveled a hundred yards down, landing in a creek bed. They say the truck was carrying 30,000 pounds of plastic pellets.

It was the pellets changing the color of the water in Elk Horn Creek, that lead firefighters two miles upstream to the truck which was otherwise hidden from the view of passers by. Firefighters used the jaws of life to remove the driver from the truck, but it was too late. The driver was pronounced dead at the scene.

Firefighters say no one was around to call for help when the driver went off the road. “There’s a lot of gully’s and culverts and vegetation that, once a motorist gets off the mowed areas and the blacktop, they can be concealed from passing motorists,” says Battalion Chief Joe Best with Lexington Fire Department.

Firefighters believe the plastic pellets are used for injection molding for car parts. They estimate it will take about 2 days to clean up the pellets and diesel fuel from the stream.

Investigators say Elk Horn Creek does not supply drinking water to any local communities and they do not see the spill as posing any immediate environmental threat.

An 18-year-old woman’s body was discovered Saturday morning and detectives fear a child connected to the case may be missing.

Witnesses, according to authorities, saw a commercial truck travelling east bound on S.W. 288^th Street and as it made a left turn at Southwest 144^th, what appeared to be a body fell from the passenger side of the truck.

The suspect, according to investigators as told by witnesses, the truck stopped and the suspect placed the body back inside and continued northbound on Southwest 144^th avenue.

Witnesses lost sight of the truck after.

When officers responded to the area, they discovered the 18-year-old’s body in a construction site, according to Miami-Dade Police Department’s Homicide Bureau.

The cause of death is unknown.

Witnesses also said they saw what appeared to be a two or three-year-old child inside the truck. It is not clear, according to detectives, how or if the child is related to the woman who is dead.

Detectives are asking law enforcement and the public to be on the lookout for a white, commercial truck with black rails and writing on the driver-side door that possibly advertises roof cleaning. The cargo bed of the truck, according to authorities, is equipped with a roll up tarp.

A Minnesota man thought friends’ attempts to find his missing wife with a Facebook post were “blown out of proportion,” witnesses testified at his murder trial Friday.

Jeffery Trevino, 39, of St. Paul, is on trial in Ramsey County on second-degree murder charges. Trevino is accused of killing his wife, Kira Steger, 30, who went missing in February. Her body was found in the Mississippi River more than two months later.

Steger’s childhood friend, Lindsey Wolf of Wisconsin, testified that she posted a picture of Steger on Facebook on Feb. 24 alerting others to her disappearance. The post included a phone number for the St. Paul Police Department and pleaded with others to share the post. Trevino reported Steger missing to police earlier that day.

Within 10 minutes of the post going up, Trevino messaged her on Facebook, Wolf testified.

“Call me plz,” Trevino’s message said.

Wolf said she called Trevino, and he told her to take down the post, the Star Tribune (http://bit.ly/15c8o5d) reported.

“He was very angry,” she said. “He was agitated.”

Trevino’s attorney, John Conard, noted that Trevino’s concern was that Steger would have to explain her affair with another man if she wasn’t missing, and that if someone had her, the attention would force the person to “get rid of her.”

One of Trevino’s longtime friends, Jesse Mix, testified that he urged Trevino to call Steger’s mother, Marcie Steger in Wisconsin, about the disappearance. Mix said he told Trevino that Marcie Steger needed to know her daughter was missing.

Trevino was “hesitant, but he agreed,” Mix said.

Mix also said Trevino complained about Wolf’s Facebook post.

“He thought it was being blown out of proportion,” Mix testified.

Jurors also heard testimony Friday from Trevino’s 15-year-old daughter, who provided another reason for blood to be in Trevino and Kira Steger’s rental home.

Trevino’s daughter testified that her nose bleeds “a lot” when the weather is dry. She testified that it can bleed two to three times a week in the right conditions, and that it has bled in her father’s rental home. She also testified that she cut her finger in the kitchen and that blood found on a tile in there matched her DNA.

Conard, the defense attorney, said Trevino’s daughter’s blood was found in the home.

In opening statements Thursday, prosecutor Andrew Johnson told jurors that more than 150 small spots of alleged blood evidence were found on the couple’s box spring.
