I’ve been listening to the police scanner a lot more than normal this week. Sometimes it’s good and sometimes it’s bad. Sometimes you spend a while on the scene of a rollover accident after you are already done with a full day of work and find out that the photo won’t be used.
Oh well… It’s not the best photo in the world. It may be the best of the day, but that’s not saying too much.
Here is the cutline I turned in for the photo:
Herald & Review/Stephen Haas
Firefighters treat the driver of a Roland Transportation, Inc., driver while responding to a tractor trailer rollover accident on the Interstate 72 exit ramp at Illinois Route 51 Wednesday, July 23, 3008, in Forsyth, Ill. Personnel from Decatur Ambulance Service, Macon County Emergency Service and Disaster Agency, Hickory Point Fire, Decatur Fire, Decatur Police and the Illinois State Police departments were involved on the scene. HAZMAT crews were called in for an estimated 100 gallons of diesel fuel leaking from the gas tank.
