Statement from Abenaqui Carriers on Chicopee crash

An Abenaqui Carriers tanker carrying 9,500 gallons of gasoline and 1,000 gallons of diesel fuel was involved in an accident on Interstate 91 in Chicopee this morning. It appears the tanker driver was taking evasive action to avoid what may have been a disabled vehicle and that action caused the tanker to rollover. The tanker was in the right travel lane. It appears that speed was not a factor.

At this time, our immediate concern is for the condition of our driver and the well being of those involved. We are working directly with the authorities as they conduct their accident investigation and will provide you with further information as and when we receive it.

We are not releasing the driver’s name at this time.
