Swift Current resident frustrated by stalled truck crash cleanup
A transport truck crash near Swift Current, N.L., on February 4 has left debris and diesel at the site, frustrating local resident Nancy Barrington. Although the truck was removed, cleanup efforts have stalled, leaving hazardous materials near her property. Barrington reported that initial cleanup attempts were halted due to issues with the trucking company's insurance. A containment boom was installed to manage the fuel spill but has since ruptured, allowing debris to spread. The Department of Digital Government and Service N.L. has instructed the trucking company to resume cleanup under the Environmental Protection Act. The department is monitoring the situation to ensure the site is properly remediated.
