Route 5 in North Haven has reopened after a truck apparently slid on black ice and rolled over.

A truck from Diesel Direct, based in Stoughton Massachusetts, rolled over on Washington Avenue at Defco Park Road after traveling over an icy bridge at 2:40 a.m., according to fire officials. The driver was not hurt, but the road was closed.

The truck was carrying around 2,500 gallons of diesel fuel and the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection responded.

The fuel traveled down a hill approximately 1/8 mile and reached storm water catch basins along Route 5, according to DEEP. They believe all the fuel was contained before reaching the Quinnipiac River.
