Glad no one was badly hurt, I agree people need to slow down on this road, the speed limit is 35 mph… I even see vehichles speeding down this road even when the school flashing light is on (byrneville elem.) which means the speed limit through this area is even slower than 35 mph people…

May not have been a fuel leak or spill, but by the looks of the underside, oil or trans was.

To “one who knows”…Article states 25 gallons of fuel spilled.
Anyway, thanks City slicker for answering my question…I was wondering how that worked.

Dirty dirt, how you going to clean that up. These country roads, people get on them and think they can drive like a bat out of you know where. They think they can avoid the law on these back roads, but people. Our family, friends and such life in these areas, children, grandchildren. Slow down!!!!!!!

The fire dept will call a permited haz mat cleanup company and they will clean up spill. The bill will then go to the owner/ company. Some departments have their own haz mat personnel and in that case the tax payer will pay for clean up and disposal unless the fd seeks compensation.

Thankfully no one was seriously hurt in this potentially serious accident .
Everone’s right about speeding on Byrneville Rd. People need to slow down!
Btw, what happens after the chemical spill? The article stated the dirt was brought in to contain the diesel, but is that Hazmats procedure? Who is suppose to clean it up?

Barbara is right. What is the speed limit on that road? 35, I think. If I drive 5 or 10 over the limit then people are right on my bumper. Most people drive 50 or 60 on Byrneville Road, it seems.
