High Street at the intersection of West Main Street is closed this afternoon as crews clean up 200 gallons of waste oil that spilled from a truck. The Fire Department's hazardous materials unit and workers from Clean Harbors Inc. are on the scene.
Officials said a tank carrying the oil fell off the back of a truck and ruptured about 3:40 p.m.
Some of the oil has flowed onto private property, and firefighters are working to keep the material from reaching the Wepawaug River which flows behind High Street.
