A truck driver has been charged with driving while intoxicated after overturning on an upstate New York bridge on Wednesday evening. 

 

The accident happened on Wednesday, June 15th at around 7:15 p.m. in Mcgraw, New York, but the right lane of the bridge was still closed for guardrail repairs as of 9:30 a.m. on Thursday morning.

According to LocalSyr News, 47-year-old Alexandr Gorski was hauling cooking oil and pesticides along Interstate 81 when he overturned between exits 10 and 11 along a small bridge. The force of the impact broke open the trailer and caused some of the pesticides to leak into the Tioughnioga River.

As of 9:20 a.m. the northbound lanes between exits 11 and 12 were still shut down for guardrail repair. The incident is still under investigation.
