He then drifted left of center and over-corrected causing the pup tank trailer to whip across the snow covered road. The pup trailer then hit the guardrail on the East bound side of the highway, bounced back across the roadway and back into the West bound burrow pit. It overturned and broke loose from the main tractor. An undetermined amount of gasoline and diesel spilled from the pup trailer.
