From NewsChannel 19 Team Reports:
Huntsville Police are investigating a bizarre accident that happened Wednesday afternoon on I-565, near the U.S. Space and Rocket Center.
A truck hauling a full-size dumpster lost the dumpster, and it fell off the back and into the road, causing a bad wreck in the westbound lane.
Police say Aaron Alston, 20, hit the dumpster and was critically hurt.
