Tanker Truck Overturned on Route 109

Traffic diverted; cars backed up to Hempstead Turnpike.

A tanker truck overturned on the entrance ramp of Route 109 from Route 110 in Farmingdale after 4pm today. Emergency vehicles and heavy machinery that were needed to clear the accident blocked all the eastbound lanes of Route 109. Traffic was diverted onto East Carmans Road and caused a backup of cars all the way to Hempstead Turnpike. 

It is currently unknown if there were any injuries, deaths, or what the cause of the accident was. Patch will provide more information as it becomes available.
