Around 1:15 p.m. Thursday a large box truck and an Infiniti QX4 SUV collided at the town line.

The QX4 was apparently pulling out on the north side to turn left.

The truck was headed east.

The QX4 struck the truck’s fuel tank on the left side of the vehicle just behind and below the cab causing a leak that poured diesel fuel on the street and down into a storm drain.

Neither the truck driver nor the occupants of the SUV were injured.

Firefighters responded to the scene. They spread absorbent material on the leaking fuel and worked on the damaged tank to stop the leak. Natural Resources officers also responded to the scene to determine if the leaking fuel posed a threat to the nearby Pond.

Reports from the scene indicate that the spilled fuel, which reportedly amounted to 25 to 30 gallons, was contained within the drainage system and did not pose an immediate threat.
Police responded to the scene and closed the Road in both directions. Fire Department resources cleared the scene shortly after 3 p.m. but commercial clean-up crews remained to continue cleanup. The cause of the crash is under investigation by Police.
