Gasoline Tanker Rollover

On February 18, 2006, a tanker truck rolled over in the parking lot of a Great Road gas station, causing hundreds of gallons of gasoline to leak out of the overturned trailer.  Single-digit temperatures caused difficulties with frozen lines and equipment, but there were no injuries and the spill was contained to the gas station parking lot.  Companies on scene were assisted by Lexington, Massachusetts Department of Fire Services, Bedford DPW, and Coady's Towing.  Station coverage was provided by Hanscom Air Force Base.
