County Fire Service responding to diesel truck rollover near Demmitt

Drivers heading along Highway 43 at Range Road 133 near Demmitt and the weight scale are being asked to slow down as county emergency crews are responding to a tanker truck rollover.

According to the county, Regional Fire Services from the Hythe, Clairmont, and Beaverlodge stations are responding, and no injuries have been reported.

The truck is carrying diesel which is spilling from the tank, and as a result, the County Regional Fire Service’s hazardous materials team is on the way to mitigate the spread of fuel. The county says there is currently no risk to the public.

Anyone driving through the area is being asked to watch for traffic control personnel as flow is being affected while crews continue to work.
