Heavy Load Shifts

By Tim State in News on Dec 13, 2008 4:53PM

This is a crappy way to end your day: a truck driver rolled his tanker truck filled with sewage on Friday. The truck was loaded with 5,000 pounds of liquid fertilizer. The accident took place in Hickory Hills when the drive tried to avoid a hitting a car as a traffic light changed. The truck was removing sewage from the Flagg Creek Water Reclamation District in Burr Ridge.

Officials report there was only minor leakage. [S-T]
