Homes were evacuated and hazmat crews called after a tanker truck carrying 5,000 gallons of butyl acrylate overturned on a bridge. The driver was not injured in the accident, which occurred on the Buck Creek Road bridge in Whitley County, Kentucky, about five miles south of Williamsburg. The driver blames GPS for directing him to use the bridge.
