A ten-wheel dump truck reportedly hauling 12 tons of rock fell through a privately-owned bridge in the 7000 block of Hwy. 84 in La Honda at 8:52 this morning.
When La Honda Volunteer Fire Fighters first arrived they found the driver uninjured and the truck leaking diesel fuel into San Gregorio Creek. Firefighters placed floating booms across the creek, ahead of the spill in an effort to contain the expanding spill.
A special crane will be brought in to remove the truck Tuesday morning. Traffic may need to be controlled on Highway 84 during this operation.
