Updated: DEVELOPING STORY: Tanker Truck Accident on County Road 19 in Hanover

UPDATE: 5:37 p.m. – While an official report of the accident is not available yet, Wright County Sheriff's Department Sgt. Wather was able to share a few of the facts surrounding the accident.

"The truck was turning onto County Road 19 from River Road. The driver was taken to the hospital with minor injuries, and not more than a couple five-gallon buckets worth of material was spilled," he said.

He reported that the truck was from J & C Trucking, who has recently been working in the area. The material inside was believed to be an additive to cement.

The state patrol did have a commercial vehicle inspector on the scene and they will be investigating whether any violations took place or if the vehicle was in violation. It will be their call if any fines are issued.

An official report is expected by morning.

A tanker truck carrying cement powder tipped over on the corner of County Road 19 and River Road just outside of the St. Michael city limits. He tipped over as he turned the corner. Witnesses   said the driver took the corner slowly but still tipped. Ehlers operates a nearby photography studio.

The driver was taken to the hospital by ambulance, but it appeared that he only had a small cut.

While traffic is no longer stopped, expect delays as clean up and removing the tanker is expected to takemost of the afternoon. If possible, plan an alternate route.

This is a developing story and as Patch receives more information and speak to the fire chief we will add them.
