Part of Amaya Drive was closed Monday night in La Mesa after
a tractor-trailer hit a fire hydrant, officials said.
The incident was reported near a 7-Eleven on Amaya, near
Howell Drive, about 8:10 p.m., a dispatcher for Heartland Fire & Rescue
said.
About 110-120 gallons of diesel spilled, said Heartland
spokesman Sonny Saghera.
Amaya was closed between Severin Drive to just east of
Howell, La Mesa police said.
City and county hazardous materials responded and a private
contractor cleaned up the fuel, Saghera said.
