The Hauppauge Fire Department responded to a motor vehicle accident at the intersection of Rabro Drive & Ranick Road involving a private car and a commercial truck. The male driver of the automobile was injured. He was immediately treated by staff of the Central Islip Hauppauge Community ambulance and transported to a local hospital. The trucks driver was uninjured. Fire Department personnel under the command of Assistant Chiefs Ray Woods & Thomas Kriklava worked to contain a rather large fuel spill (est. 100 gals) and to contain the leak from the trucks fuel tanks. Once the leak was stopped it was decided to transfer remaining fuel into other containers using the air driven transfer pump. Due to the extent of the spill the State Department of Environmental protection was requested to respond as the fuel had entered at least one roadway catch basin and to ensure that a proper cleanup took place. Also assisting was the Suffolk County Police Emergency Services, the Suffolk County Police Motor Carrier Safety Unit, and a number of local Suffolk County Police Sector Patrol Vehicles in diverting all road traffic from this busy roadway at the height of rush hour. Heavy Rescue 3-8-9, Engines 3-8-3, 3-8-4 operated at this scene until all units picked up at 1832 hrs.
