GANDEEVILLE, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- 911 dispatchers say Route 119 in Roane County is back open to traffic after a tanker truck overturned.

The accident happened around 7:00 a.m. Monday morning.

Police say the driver of the tanker lost control, causing the truck to overturn between Gandeeville and Walton.

The truck was carrying liquid nitrogen. Some of the chemical spilled out on the roadway so crews had to clean it up.

The driver was taken to the hospital, but we don't know the extent of his injuries.

I'm a student from Walton at Roane County High School, and because of the accident all the high school students were sent home while they were still on the busses.
