Propane Truck Overturns In Smith Township

Authorities are investigating the cause of an accident in Smith Township that left a home delivery propane truck on its side, leaking fuel.  Washington County Emergency Management spokesperson Ryan Frazee tells WJPA that the truck rolled over onto its side on Bavington Road Thursday afternoon, before three o’clock.  Frazee says Hazmat crews were called to the scene to stop the leak and they have secured the area, closing down Bavington Road.  The road was closed from Route 18 to Route 22 for several hours.  Frazee says the driver was injured and flown to a Pittsburgh area hospital but he did not know the extent of those injuries.
