Fracking wastewater spills from tanker truck after crash in Sullivan Twp
SULLIVAN TWP., Pa. (WETM) — A tanker truck carrying fracking wastewater rolled 100 feet down an embankment in Tioga County, Pennsylvania, on Monday, spilling about 2,000 gallons of flowback water into a nearby stream, according to a release from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).
The crash happened in the early morning on Monday, May 12, near 332 Connelly Mountain Road in the Sullivan Township area, Josh Clark from the Mansfield Hose Company explained in the release. According to Clark, the truck left the road and flipped onto its side into a small stream.

About half of its load leaked out from the top hatch of the tank, but no fuel was observed after absorbents and pads were placed in and around the stream as a precaution, the release further stated. Clark said the truck was assumed to be coming from a well pad site on Mountain Ridge Road in Mainesburg, PA.
The release stated Moore's trucking company went to the scene with a pump truck to remove the remaining liquid from the overturned tanker, and B&W Towing Company also helped with cleanup. DEP officials remained on-site on Monday to make sure everything was being properly taken care of.

Wyndham Clark apologizes for damaging locker at U.S. Open: 'I made a mistake that I deeply regret'
Wyndham Clark apologizes for damaging locker at U.S. Open: 'I made a mistake that I deeply regret' When it comes to Wyndham Clark recently, the talk has been more about his on-course antics rather than the play of the former U.S. Open champion. He opened in 6-under 64 on Thursday at the 2025 Travelers Championship. And while he was asked a couple questions about his play, it didn't take long for the discussion to turn to six days ago, when Clark damaged lockers inside the Oakmont clubhouse after missing the cut. It was his second incident in as many majors this season of causing damage. At the PGA Championship in May, he caused damage to a T-Mobile sign. On Thursday, Clark apologized for what happened at the U.S. Open. "I've had a lot of highs and lows in my career, especially this year some lows. I made a mistake that I deeply regret. I'm very sorry for what happened," Clark said. "But I'd also like to move on, not only for myself but for Oakmont, for the USGA, and kind of focus on the rest of this year and things that come up. I still want to try to make the Ryder Cup team. I still am on the outside looking in for the FedExCup. So I'm starting to move on and focus on those things." Clark birdied four of his final six holes Thursday, and he sits two shots behind Austin Eckroat after the early wave at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut. As for the locker room incident, he's hoping to quickly put it in the rearview mirror.

Wyndham Clark tantrum reportedly behind U.S. Open locker room damage
Wyndham Clark tantrum reportedly behind U.S. Open locker room damage 🚨🥾🚪 #NEW: Wyndham Clark allegedly damaged several lockers in the change room at Oakmont Country Club following a missed cut, per @TronCarterNLU. Additionally, Clark recently destroyed a T-mobile sign at the PGA Championship not long ago. Is this behaviour acceptable? — NUCLR GOLF (@NUCLRGOLF) June 15, 2025 2023 U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark missed the cut at this year's tournament, succumbing to the rough conditions of Oakmont Country Club like many others this weekend. Unlike others, Clark apparently didn't handle the loss very well. That's according to images of a couple damaged lockers in the Oakmont locker room and a report from No Laying Up's Tron Carter confirming that Clark was behind the damage. If true, this would be the latest blow up from Clark in what's possibly becoming a pattern after he tossed his club into some signage after a bad drive at last month's PGA Championship -- something he later apologized for. Clark shot 8-over at Oakmont, bowing out Friday one stroke short of the cut.

Wyndham Clark reportedly damages lockers in Oakmont clubhouse at 2025 U.S. Open
Wyndham Clark reportedly damages lockers in Oakmont clubhouse at 2025 U.S. Open Wyndham Clark seemingly finds himself in hot water yet again for the second straight major championship. After apologizing for his behavior late in the 2025 PGA Championship, Clark is taking more heat for alleged damage he caused to lockers inside the famed clubhouse at Oakmont Country Club, site of the 2025 U.S. Open. Clark, the 2023 U.S. Open champion who missed the cut by a shot after shooting consecutive 4-over 74s on Thursday and Friday, allegedly took his frustrations out in the locker room after a bogey on the final hole resulted in him missing the weekend. Golfweek attempted to contact Clark about the alleged incident but was unable to reach him as of 10:45 a.m. ET. Last month, Clark damaged a T-Mobile sign during the final round of the PGA Championship, prompting him to apologize on social media the next day. "I promise to better the way I handle my frustrations on the course going forward, and hope you all can forgive me in due time," Clark wrote on social media. Since finishing T-5 at the Texas Children's Houston Open, Clark has made eight starts but his best finish is T-27. He has missed only two cuts after this week, but he hasn't finished better than T-50 in nearly two months. Those frustrations reportedly boiled over at Oakmont, and he was far from the only golfer to express frustration throughout the week. Rory McIlroy, the Masters champion and world No. 2, threw a golf club and smashed a tee marker during Friday's second round. Golfweek's Adam Schupak contributed to this story.
