Bay Shore, NY — February 23rd —The Bay Shore Fire Department responded to an overturned New York State Department of Transportation plow truck on Sunrise Highway in the evening.
Firefighters worked alongside the Bay Shore-Brightwaters Rescue Ambulance, Town of Islip Fire Marshal's Office, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, MTA Police Department, and Suffolk County Police Department.
A hazardous materials crew stayed on the scene for several hours to contain and clean up a diesel fuel spill from the plow truck, while environmental regulators checked local waterways for pollution.
