A truck carrying contaminated soil from the site of the East Palestine, Ohio train derailment has overturned in Columbiana County, Ohio, because you know that whatever remediation that Norfolk Southern planned, they would do it on the cheap:
A truck carrying toxic soil from the East Palestine train derailment site overturned just before 1 p.m. Monday in Columbiana County.
According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol, a commercial vehicle hauling 40,000 pounds of contaminated soil from the train derailment site was involved in a crash on state Route 165 near Waterford Road.
The driver was 74-year-old Phillip Falck, of McDonald, Pennsylvania. He suffered minor injuries from the crash and was cited for operating a vehicle without reasonable control.
The northbound tractor-trailer traveled off the right side of the roadway, hit a ditch and utility pole and overturned onto its right side. Highway Patrol estimates that approximately 20,000 pounds of soil spilled onto the roadway and berm.
Only one driver, it seems, and a fairly old one (נישט אזוי אלט) at that.
You can be sure that NS looked far and wide for the absolutely cheapest carrier without regard to safety, because that's what they do with their railroad as well.
