Tanker Truck Carrying Scotch Overturns in Woodbridge

No one was seriously hurt when a tanker truck carrying 6,000 gallons of Scotch whisky overturned and caught fire in Woodbridge.

Fire Chief Dan Gregan tells The Home News Tribune of East Brunswick the truck was making a turn when it clipped a telephone pole, hit a parked car and ignited Tuesday.

The chief wasn't sure whether the truck's fuel or the Scotch caught fire.

The driver, who works for a hauling company in Newark, was taken to a hospital as a precaution.
