Charges are bring sought against the driver of tanker that crashed last Tuesday night on the Bourne Rotary.

The Massachusetts State Police say a complaint was lodged Friday at Falmouth District Court to charge the driver, identified as 47-year-old Thomas Medeiros of Westport, with three motor vehicle offenses.

Authorities are seeking to charge Medeiros with Negligent Operation of a Motor Vehicle; Operating at a Speed Greater than Reasonable and Proper; and Failure to Stay Within Marked Lanes.

State Police say the charges were sought following an investigation conducted by the State Police Barracks in Bourne with the assistance of the State Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Section.

The crash, which occurred at approximately 11 p.m. last Tuesday, caused roughly 5,000 gallons of fuel to spill onto the rotary, which lead to both the rotary and the Bourne Bridge being closed for several hours.

Partial closures remain in place as crews are continuing with an environmental cleanup in the area.
