A 60,000-pound waste hauler semi-truck in Rome, Georgia, recently rolled down an incline and crashed into a wastewater treatment plant’s drain pump station, causing an estimated $100,000 in damages.
The truck was fully loaded at the time of the incident, and it’s suspected that the driver didn’t set the brake properly before he got out of the truck to fill out some paperwork at the plant.
Officials at the Rome Wastewater Reclamation Facility say no one was injured in the incident and they’ve been bypassing the electrical system with a diesel-powered pump until the station can be fixed.
