A dump truck was damaged on Friday afternoon after a crash in Gray, causing approximately 100 gallons of diesel fuel to spill onto residential property. The dump truck had left the roadway on the West Gray Road just after the Windham-Gray town line at around 4:28 p.m., according to the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office. Douglas Battey, 63, of Danville had been eastbound on the West Gray Road in a 2016 Peterbilt dump truck owned by J F Hutchinson company, when he failed to complete a left hand turn and drove the truck straight off the roadway, according to Sheriff Kerry Joyce. The truck came to rest on a corner of residential property, and around 100 gallons of diesel fuel were estimated to have been spilled near a drinking well, Joyce said.
