Halliburton Truck Overturns near Clarksburg; Driver Injured

Posted on Dec 21, 2011

December 21, 2011 – Clarksburg, W.Va. – A driver was injured on Monday, December 19, when a Halliburton truck overturned.

WDTV reports that the accident happened late Monday night on Interstate 79 just before the Clarksburg exit. According to a witness at the scene, the Halliburton truck veered off of the highway and crashed into an embankment, causing it to roll several times before it came to a rest. The truck was carrying hydrochloric acid at the time of the accident.

The truck driver was injured in the accident and had to be transported to a local hospital. The driver is said to have suffered a head injury. His or her identity has not yet been released.

Crews had to block off the northbound lanes of Interstate 79 in the area of the crash. Traffic was restricted to a single lane until about 7:30 a.m. Tuesday morning, when crews had completely cleared the scene.

The cause of the accident remains to be determined.
