A 46 year-old Kapa'a woman sustained minor injuries in a traffic accident on Kauai this afternoon and was taken to Wilcox Hospital for treatment.

The woman was driving a septic truck on Kainahola Road between Kainahola Reservoir and the Kapa'a Poi Factory at around 12:03 pm when she lost control of the truck, causing the truck to roll onto its side and spill its load of untreated raw sewage.

It is not known exactly how much spilled on the roadway, but the truck had been filled with approximately 3,200 gallons of sewage.
