Minor injuries and 400 to 700 litres of oil spilled in oil truck rollover on Winsloe Rd.

Icy road conditions were a major factor Monday morning when an oil delivery truck travelling on the Winsloe Road slid off the road after 6:00am and overturned in the ditch.  The driver was trapped in the truck for a period of time and suffered minor injuries.  A section of the Winsloe Road between the Kentyre Road and Horne Cross Road was closed for several hours.  An estimated 400 to 700 litres of heating oil was spilled as a result of the rollover.  The Provincial Environment Department was called in and officials say the oil was contained and cleaned up with a vac truck.  The oil that was spilled did not impact any waterways.  The North River Fire Department, Island EMS, and Department of Transportation also responded to the scene.
