The incident occurred shortly before 4 p.m.

A fuel oil/gasoline/oil heat delivery truck flipped onto its side on Ridge Valley Road in West Rockhill Township Tuesday afternoon, causing a HAZMAT response due to fluids leaking onto the roadway.

Ridge Valley Road is closed at Forest Road and Ridge Road.

It is unknown how the single-vehicle accident occurred, but the shoulders of the road remain slushy and snow-covered following a recent storm.
