It was pulled up to the surface of the water, then crews drained the fuel out of the truck into large holding tanks, to lighten the truck’s load before hoisting it off the water onto another barge. Guy Adams, owner of Marine Link Transportation that owns the barge and the truck, said investigators are continuing to determine how the truck ended up in the water.
“We still don’t know why the truck rolled off the barge,” he said. “We have a heavy-duty repair company looking to investigate the brakes on the truck on Wednesday.”
