Truck Loses Driveshaft On I-84 In Tolland

TOLLAND, CT — A tractor-trailer spilled fuel on a section of Interstate-84 Wednesday night after losing its driveshaft, fire officials said.

The crash took place at about 6 p.m. on the eastbond side of the highway near Exit 68.

Fire officials said the loose driveshaft took out both "saddle tanks" containing diesel fuel. The fuel began spilling onto the highway, but first-responders were able to contain it, fire officials said.

A state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection crew went to the scene to clean up the mess, officials said.

No injuries were reported.
