PEMBROKE PINES, Fla. (AP) — Neighbors in a South Florida neighborhood had to deal with a smelly situation after a sewage truck overturned.
Officials say about 100 gallons of waste spilled from an All Star Toilets sewage tanker when it hit a utility pole and rolled over Monday afternoon in Pembroke Pines.
Fire Rescue spokesman Tom Gallagher told the South Florida Sun Sentinel (http://sunsent.nl/w2PWns ) that no hazardous material response was needed. He says the sewage was treated and all chemicals used were biodegradable.
A Pembroke Pines street cleaner “vacuumed up” the sewage. Officials say the foul odor went away once the waste and the truck were removed.
Officials say the driver was wearing a seat belt and was not injured.
