Tanker crash

Tanker crash

Gasoline tanker truck flipped on I-5 near Lacey in the rain. One of the tankers ruptured and leaked its fuel. The other was intact and its contents were being moved to another truck. The truck driver and a passenger suffered minor injuries and were taken to a hospital.

Only one lane of I-5 was open for most of the day. Authorities advised travelers to stay away from the area, which is about 5 miles west of Olympia.

A spill like that can turn a highway into a slip 'n slide

This is why I avoid tankers like the plague. Too much risk and liability for me

Another example of why tanker drivers need more training and experience. You can’t just haul hazardous materials without knowing how to handle them safely.

I agree, they should have better drainage and maintenance on that highway.

What a mess! I hate driving on I-5 when it rains. It’s always slippery and congested.

Poor guy, he must have been terrified when he saw his truck flip over. I wonder what caused it? Was it mechanical failure, driver error, or something else? I hope they investigate thoroughly and find out what went wrong.
