Fuel spill shuts Dorval's Calais Street

A Quebec driver was taken to hospital with minor injuries after his fuel truck flipped and spilled its load on Calais Street in Dorval.

He was exiting Highway 520 when the truck flipped and spilled thousands of litres of gas late Sunday night.

Police cordoned off the street while emergency workers mopped up the area.

The gas posed no danger to residents and businesses, said Const. Olivier Lapointe.

The 32-year-old driver was hospitalized with minor injuries.

Police say the crash may have been caused by speed, or by a mechanical problem with the truck.
