Two elderly Brockton area residents suffered minor injuries when their Chrysler Sebring collided with the side of a dump truck just south of Durham on Highway 6.
The crash happened around 10 AM on Friday, when the truck was pulling into a new home construction site.
The car was going in the same direction, and hit the fuel tanks on the side of the dump truck, causing a leak of about 100 litres of diesel fuel.
West Grey Fire Chief Phil Schwartz says the victims, a man and a woman in their 70’s, had to be cut from the wreckage and were taken to Durham hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The Ministry of Environment has been informed.
It’s the second crash involving a diesel spill in Grey County in two days.
Two military vehicles collided on Thursday morning on Highway 26 between Meaford and Thornbury and about 300 litres of diesel fuel had to be cleaned up.
