Tanker Truck Flips...Spills Diesel Fuel

A tanker truck flipped about 10:15 P.M. Friday night on U.S. 119 in Boone County, spilling nearly one thousand gallons of off road diesel fuel near the Coal River along Route 119 just a couple miles from the Kanawha County line. EPA officials have taken samples and say the fuel was contained to the river bank. The truck was coming from Belle, West Virginia and headed to a mine in Logan County. Crews spent most of the day Saturday cleaning up the spill.
