Driver Escapes Injury After Trailer Rolls in Delaware County

Delaware County Sheriff’s officials say speed is believed to have contributed to a rollover crash that spilled diesel fuel in the Town of Delhi.

Deputies were called to a report of a tractor trailer crash on County Highway 16 on the morning of December 2.

Authorities say they determined a pick-up truck and flatbed trailer carrying a farm tractor had overturned while trying to navigate a sharp curve.

76-year-old Donald Hebbard of Franklin, who was driving the truck, was not hurt in the crash but fuel was spilled from the farm tractor onto the road and adjacent areas.

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Spill Team responded to evaluate the situation and initiate clean-up action.

Hebbard was ticketed for speed not reasonable and prudent.
