How the Tanker Crash on I-88 Unfolded
The tanker truck was hauling 6,000 gallons of yogurt sludge, State Police said. Troopers said the load shifted, and the truck tipped onto its right side at about 7:21 a.m. Thursday. The rig was traveling west on Interstate 88 in the town of Chenango, close to where it meets Interstate 81.
After it tipped, troopers said the tanker went through a guardrail on the right side of the highway and slid off the shoulder. It came to rest off the road. Jones was treated at UHS Wilson Medical Center in Johnson City.
What Followed on Interstate 88 After the Wreck
Photos shared by authorities showed the tanker smashed and the road surface damaged. Traffic heading west on Interstate 88 was sent off at Exit 1 and onto Interstate 81. State Police have not announced any charges.
People often hear very little from investigators in the first days after a crash. That quiet is normal while evidence is gathered, and it does not mean the case has stalled.
