Tanker Truck Overturns In Fairfield County

Fairfield County Sheriff's deputies say the driver of a tanker truck was injured this morning when his vehicle overturned near the intersection of state Route 188 and Royalton Road in Hocking Township. Deputies say 40-year-old Jason Smith had trouble negotiating a curve. He is being treated at a Columbus hospital. The truck was carrying what state EPA officials say was a non-toxic, non-hazardous fertilizer. Cleanup is underway.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
