Tractor Trailer Rollover

The Cedar Knolls Fire Depts. First Aid Squad transported a male to Morristown Memorial after his vehicle overturned early this morning. The driver was driving his truck from Route 24 west to northbound Route 287 in Hanover around 2:20 a.m. Apparently he lost control of the tractor trailer, ran off the road to the left and struck the guard rail. The vehicle overturned and came to a rest on an embankment. The driver freed himself out of the truck cab. The injuries were apparently non-life threatening. A chemical substance glycol, used in dry cleaning, spilled onto the roadway from his truck causing the Morris County Hazmat and Whippany Hazmat to respond.
