WILDERVILLE, Ore. -- Oregon State Police are investigating the cause of a fuel tanker trailer crash in Wilderville on Sunday.

The trailer rolled over on Redwood Highway near Round Prairie Rd at around 12:21 p.m. The driver was able to get out of the vehicle uninjured.

Rural Metro Fire crews came onto the scene to find the trailer leaking diesel and gasoline. Crews from OSP, ODOT and the Josephine County Sheriff's Office helped respond, with a team from Caveman Towing finishing the heavy recovery three hours later.
