Gwc,
You're right, the driver isn't solely at fault, but he is responsible for the mess and supposedly a professional. Should he be personally liable, I don't think so, but his employer should be (it also sounds like they are stepping up and taking care of it). Who knows what the police were thinking, they could have and probably should have made sure it was taken care of. We'll probably never know why he was left to keep going, maybe he told the Police his stop was in Meridith and he would get it taken care of there and the officer cut him a break. But the bottom line is the driver left the truck and the leak wasn't stopped.
Anyhow sounds like the state has classified it as an accident and that's it. :rolleyes:
