Truck sticks in dirt on Railroad Avenue Tuesday

A ventilation and cleaning truck sank into some loose soil at 8:45 a.m. on Tuesday morning on Southeast Northern Street and Railroad Avenue in Snoqualmie. With the vehicle stuck on the corner, police had to slow traffic at that intersection.

The driver of the truck was on S.E. Northern Street and was making a right turn onto Railroad. The angle of the turn was too sharp and his rear wheels got stuck in some soft soil.

Diesel fuel had spilled from the truck, so officials called the Department of Ecology. The truck driver put down absorbent materials to soak up the fuel and prevent it from getting into the soil or into drainage. City officials could not say if the accident caused damage to irrigation hoses.
