DEEP evaluating Newtown roadway following oil truck crash

The state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection is evaluating whether a Newtown road needs to be dug up and replaced following a home heating oil truck crash earlier this week, according to The Newtown Bee.  A 41-year old headed down New Lebbon Road Monday morning left the roadway, struck a utility pole and rolled over, coming to rest in the opposite shoulder.  The accident happened near the intersections with High Rock Road and Beagle Trail.  The driver did not sustain any injuries.  Fuel did leak from the truck.  An environmental remediation company, along with Newtown firefighters and DEEP were able to contain the spill, but there was oil spillage on the road.  No charges were immediately filed as the accident remains under investigation.
