Location: John J. Williams Highway & Indian Mission Road

On Monday, September 2^nd, the Delaware State Fire Police assigned to the Indian River Volunteer Fire Company were alerted to assist with traffic control at the intersection of the John J. Williams Highway and Indian Mission Road.

These fire police units were requested to assist with traffic control after a mechanical mishap involving a disable garbage truck that resulted in a sizable transmission fluid leakage which necessitated the westbound travel lanes of John J.
