JEFFERSON CITY, MO.
A section of Highway 50 in Jefferson City is open again
following cleanup of a fuel spill Tuesday night.
The spill closed two lanes of westbound Highway 50 at
Missouri Boulevard just before 10 p.m. Crews had it back open shortly after 11
p.m.
The spill was about 100 feet long and 30 feet wide. MoDOT
crews were dispatched to help clean up.
Some fuel did go down a drain into nearby Wears Creek, but
officials tell ABC 17 it was a very small amount and isn't a concern.
Investigators say a gas tank gap was found at the scene
leading them to believe the cap came off a large commercial truck causing the
leak. At this point they don't know what truck may be involved.
