@nbcnewyork: An overturned tanker truck spilled thousands of gallons of fuel onto a Queens roadway, according to officials, shutting down a major thoroughfare leading to JFK Airport. The tanker overturned just before 11:30 a.m. Wednesday at Rockaway Turnpike and East Avenue near the Meadowmere neighborhood, the FDNY said. Security video obtained by NBC New York showed the truck making a left turn and tipping over onto its side in the process. A large emergency response from fire and EMS personnel rushed to the scene, spraying foam on the ground and around the crash site to deal with any possible spilled fuel.
I drive tankers daily, I promise you he was driving too fast and all the liquid went to the right of the truck and flipped. Drivers fault 100%
