ENGLEWOOD, NJ — A person was injured when a concrete-mixing truck tipped over on the driver's side Tuesday near the Grand Avenue ramp to Route 4 westbound in Englewood, the Englewood Fire Department said.

The driver was treated on scene by EMS and then taken to an area hospital with minor injuries, Fire Chief Jeff Kaplan said.

Bergen County hazmat units and Englewood firefighters worked to mitigate a 50-gallon diesel fuel spill, while heavy-duty wreckers helped to get the truck back upright, Kaplan said.
