Overturned Truck Spills Fuel, Breaks Water Main

UPDATE (5:21 p.m.)—A truck carrying gravel overturned early Tuesday afternoon, breaking a water main on Rolling Road in Bel Air, according to a resident in the community. There was also a diesel fill spill according to an emergency services official.

Angela DeBrigida said a truck for Jerry Preston's Hauling was delivering a load of gravel for her neighbor's landscaping project when it got stuck in the front yard, overturned and landed on the water main.

DeBrigida said the landscaping was not related to  and that her neighborhood had power restored around 11 p.m., Monday. But now the Bel Air South community has another problem.

“There’s people that don’t have water a couple of streets over,” said DeBrigida, who added that no one appeared hurt, including the truck driver.

The incident occurred at about 11 a.m. across from Belmont Court, a  spokeswoman said. The scene was cleared around 1:45 p.m.

"The dump truck was taking crushed stone, and he ran over water main on soft ground," Monica Worrell said. "There was gushing water. … Hazmat [and] MDE got called out."

Volunteer fire companies "controlled large quantity of diesel spilled" from the truck, according to Rich Gardiner, Harford County Volunteer Fire and EMS spokesman.

Worrell confirmed there were no injuries.

A voicemail left with the hauling company's owner, Jerry Preston, was not returned.
