An additional tanker from Bow was called by dispatch to assist.

State police reported the truck was a 2014 International. The reason the driver veered off the Interstate "has yet to be determined," said. Sgt. Maurice Sampson of Troop D.

"The dump body was half filled with gravel at the time of the crash," Sampson said.

Two lanes of the highway are still shut down at post time with traffic moving slowly through the breakdown lane.
