Tractor-trailer rollover

A tractor-trailer hauling diesel fuel rolled over Tuesday on Curry Road O. The driver was not injured, according to emergency officials on site. Officials said they would not know if any fuel leaked until they set the trailer upright. The driver said the back tires of the trailer went off the road, making the fuel shift. The ditch was too steep and “it just went,” he said. A crew started to dig beneath the tractor-trailer so they could put air cushions under it and tip the trailer back onto its wheels. The truck was identified as being from Quality Rail Service of Golden, Colo.
