“On Sunday, the Middleborough Fire Department and Wareham Fire Department, and Wareham Assistant Chief Haskell responded to a report of a rollover crash of a fuel truck.
First-responders arrived to Route 44 in Middleborough in front of 47 Harding Street between the hotels to find a fuel truck lying upside-down. The Massachusetts Hazmat Team was called to the scene as Team Leader Aide. Approximately 20 Hazmat Technicians were on scene working to offload the tanker.
Fortunately, the fuel tank did not rupture and none of the contents were spilled.
Traffic on Route 44 was backed up for several hours as the scene was cleaned up and the fuel truck was righted and towed away.
