Just as a semi driver pulled into the roundabout on Lake Lansing Road at about 4 o'clock Monday, police said a car pulled right in front of him.

"As the driver was making a turn, a car cut him off and the middle trailer tipped over," Lt. Dennis Gerughty of the Lansing Township Fire Department said.

The semi landed on its side, but the driver was not hurt. The cargo spilled on to the sidewalk and street. A local towing company had to remove the sand first before they could move the truck.

"Shroyers did pump out transmission fluid and diesel and things like that," Lt. Gerughty said.

It turned into a four hour ordeal as crews worked to clean up the accident. West bound Lake Lansing road did not reopen until 8 o'clock p.m.

Some neighbors told News Ten they don't care for this roundabout, because they say drivers just take it too fast.

There was a similar scene back in September, same roundabout, different truck. The driver in that accident left the scene with minor injuries.

Tom Hannahs is a local truck mechanic. He said drivers often forget that trucks can't stop as quickly as cars.

"I'm always getting cut off," Hannahs said. "No car wants to be behind a truck, especially in a roundabout, so they try to pass us."

Hannahs said this accident could have easily been a lot worse, at the same time, Lt. Gerughty said, it was also easily preventable.

"If drivers take these roundabouts at safe speeds, there's no problem," he said.

The Lansing Township Fire Chief told us diesel fuel spilled into the storm drain during an earlier accident. That was not a problem Monday, the cargo sand was actually put to good use, stopping anything from getting into the storm drains.
