(Aurora, Ind.) – Crews are on the scene of an accident on East Laughery Creek Road.

According to Dearborn County Dispatch, a fuel oil truck carrying 2,200 gallons of fluid reportedly left the roadway and came to a rest over a hill just after 3:30 p.m.

Upon arrival at the scene, responders located the tanker on its side. The accident did cause a small leak which has been stopped. Responders are expecting more fluid to leak when the truck is flipped right side up.
