PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • December 17, 2020

A tanker truck loaded with 10,000 gallons of gasoline and diesel fuel turned over in near-whiteout conditions in Gorham on Thursday, spilling an undetermined amount of the fuel, the Maine Department of Environmental Protection said. The aluminum tanker was carrying 6,500 gallons of gasoline and a combined 3,600 gallons of off-road and on-road diesel when the driver lost control. Some of the petroleum products spilled but it was unclear late Thursday how much escaped the tanker.
