Environmental cleanup from tanker crash

A year after that tanker truck explosion on 1-91 at the Chicopee Curve that killed a truck driver, work is ending on the environmental clean-up from that accident.

The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection oversaw the process. The main concern was preventing groundwater contamination and preventing a runoff the thousands of gallons of gasoline that spilled from the tank.

It was a long process, crews working down the side of a highway bridge abutment. Work also involved removing contaminated soil for the site.

Skiba says there is no residual contamination at the site and the site will be closed out.

Truck driver, Aaron Staelens was killed in that accident.
