A tractor trailer reportedly rolled over on the ramp from I-95 S to Route 295 earlier this morning in Attleboro. Details regarding the rollover are still coming to light but the tractor trailer crash resulted in significant back-ups for Monday morning commuters. The trailer was said to have been transporting diesel fuel, which then leaked onto the highway. The driver has not been identified yet but it was reported that he sustained minor injuries in the rollover. Emergency workers shut down the ramp from 95 to 295 in an effort to investigate the scene and clean the fuel up more efficiently.
Tractor Trailer Rollovers
Thankfully this rollover did not result in any fatalities. In the U.S. in 2009, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that nearly 9,000 vehicles were involved in rollovers where a fatality was reported. Of that total number, just over 400 of those vehicles were tractor trailers.
