A tractor trailer carrying 9,000 gallons of liquid manure rolled over onto its side and spilled its contents along with hydraulic fluid and motor oil late Tuesday afternoon in the Town of Genesee Falls.

The cause of the accident is under investigation. The owner of the tractor trailer is Edelweiss Farms.

So what your saying is that the truck was carrying 90,000 lbs of liquid manure ? That’s only around 45,000lbs over weight that truck was bound for disaster as soon as it hit the road luckily no one was killed
