Crews reopened US 76 in Rabun County, Ga. late Saturday. A tanker truck overturned early in the morning near the Long Creek community of Oconee County, Sc. It happened about one mile across the Georgia state line.
The driver of the tanker was taken to the Oconee Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Officials say the truck lost nearly 800 gallons of liquid. The fuel did make its way to a small stream and was contained within 500 yards from the wreck. There was not any contamination to the Chattooga River.
The American Red Cross provided assistance to approximately 50 fire, rescue, hazmat, and forestry personal.
