8401. Primary concern right now is we have an active diesel fuel leak from one of the saddlebags.

I believe it's coming from a loose fuel cap, however, with the lines down, we're not going to be climbing on the truck.

It's very slow at this time.

We do have a waterway right next to where the truck is rolled over.
