Middletown – At 4:21 this morning crews from the Volunteer Hose Company of Middletown, along with New Castle County Paramedics, and Delaware State Police responded to Summit Bridge Road at Bethel Church Road for a rollover crash involving a garbage truck.

Upon arrival, crews reported that the truck was leaking fluids into a drain. This prompted a response from DNREC’s Environmental Response Team. Crews have been working throughout the morning to clear the scene.

The driver of the truck was evaluated by paramedics but it’s not clear if they were transported to the hospital.
