Run away tractor trailer on Nitterhouse Dr.



Engine 1-2 and Ambulance 1-7 were sent to the 1400 block of Nitterhouse Dr for a reported vehicle accident. Engine 1-2 and Asst. Chief 1 arrived, locating a tractor trailer in a parking lot. The tractor trailer rolled away from the dock causing it to pop over a curb and come to rest on its fuel tanks. Wrecker 51 (Dave's Truck Repair) and County EMA were requested to the scene to assist. No injuries were reported and crews stabilized the vehicle while completing an assessment of damage. Wrecker 51 arrived and was assisted by the trucking company's wrecker in lifting the truck to be able to get it over the surb. A small amount of diesel fuel had leaked onto the ground, which was mitigated. Crews operated for about an hour and 40 minutes before going available.
