Someone said the sunk truck is about 3/4 of a mile from the shoreline.
At this point the State should take the bull by the horn and go ahead and yank it out rather than risking a potential pollution issue. They can bill the owner and threaten him with jail time if the bill remains unpaid after thirty days.
This story will have a very sad ending if pollution results as a result of not using quick action to immediately deal with it.
