WAILUA HOMESTEADS, Kauai (KHNL) -- A 46-year-old woman received minor injuries Monday afternoon when the truck she was driving overturned and spilled a load of untreated raw sewage.

It is not known exactly how much spilled on the roadway, but the truck had been filled with about 3,200 gallons of sewage.
Police, fire and Hazmat crews responded to the incident.
Kainahola Road was closed for more than an hour.
