DEP Cleaning up Truck Rollover in I-95N Submitted: 11/16/2009
MEDWAY - The Department of Environmental Protection is cleaning up a chemical spill after a trucker, driving drunk on I-95, rolled his rig Sunday night.

At about 9pm, State Police received several calls that a tractor-trailer had rolled over on the highway just north of the town of Medway. Kenneth Taylor, 44, of Memphis, Tennessee, was drunk. And, after being tested, was found to have a blood-alcohol level twice the legal limit. He was arrested and taken to Penobscot County Jail. The overturned truck, which was carrying 13 totes of hazardous chemicals, ripped apart when it rolled. Crews have opened up one lane of traffic, but will continue to keep the northbound portion closed around mile marker 255 until Tuesday afternoon.
