A truck carrying 40,000 pounds of contaminated soil from the East Palestine, Ohio train derailment crashed and overturned on Monday.

According to the Ohio State Highway Patrol, the tractor trailer, which had an open top, went off the road in Columbiana County around 1 p.m., hit an utility pole and overturned, spilling about half of its cargo. However, the Ohio EPA said the spill was contained and did not threaten any nearby waterways.

Phillip Falck, the 74-year-old driver, was “cited for operating a vehicle without reasonable control,” the highway patrol said. Falck suffered minor injuries in the crash, according to WKBN.
