A jet-fuel tanker truck was leaking fuel onto the highway after colliding with a vehicle and rolling over on the southbound side of I-95 near Boston, according to Massachusetts State Police.

The accident occurred when a 21-year-old driver swerved his Volvo to avoid a slower moving vehicle.

“The driver swerved to the left lane, impacted the cement barrier on the bridge then shot across three lanes of traffic, crashing into the truck causing it to rollover” said Trooper Eric Benson, MA State Police.

Some of the 11-thousand gallons of jet fuel in the tanker entered storm drains – and the ground- forcing evacuation of more than twelve nearby homes.

The driver of the truck was taken to Rhode Island Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The vehicle passengers were taken to Sturdy Memorial Hospital in Attleboro, with minor injuries.

This is the fourth fuel tanker crash to occur in Massachusetts in the past year.
