800 gals of fuel spilt by tanker
Tanker Overturned On Hwy 76 In Ga Leaking Fuel
News Channel 7
Crews reopened US 76 in Rabun County, Ga. late Saturday. A tanker truck overturned early in the morning near the Long Creek community of Oconee County, Sc. It happened about one mile across the Georgia state line.
The driver of the tanker was taken to the Oconee Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Officials say the truck lost nearly 800 gallons of liquid. The fuel did make its way to a small stream and was contained within 500 yards from the wreck. There was not any contamination to the Chattooga River.
The American Red Cross provided assistance to approximately 50 fire, rescue, hazmat, and forestry personal.
SERPRO marine booms have a tough polyethylene knitted mesh cotton cover with our unique poly filler for quick efficient absorption of oils and fuels while repelling water and remain afloat even when fully saturated. The rope hook on each end with handy snaps allows booms to be linked together quickly to form a continuous barrier.
