Log truck flips on Route 20

Volunteers from the Carlisle and Esperance Fire Departments along with Schoharie County Sheriff Tony Desmond and other emergency workers responded to a tractor-trailer accident Monday just after noon in the westbound lane of Route 20 just east of Prairie Road in the Town of Carlisle.
Police said the tractor-trailer driver was trying to make a turn when the trailer got into the soft median, flipping the back end of the load of trees, and shutting down the lane for about an hour.
The trees stayed on the trailer and Roosevelt Towing responded to right the twisted vehicle.
Carlisle and Esperance FD volunteers responded to help with hazardous material clean-up after fluids leaked from the rig.
No injuries were reported.
