Tanker Truck Rolls Over In Snowy Conditions On C-470 Offramp
DENVER (CBS4) - A fuel tanker truck rolled over in snowy conditions on Friday morning after daybreak in the southern part of the Denver metro area. It happened on the westbound C-470 offramp to Santa Fe Drive.
According to South Metro Fire, there was an "active diesel spill" after the rollover that had to be stopped, and fuel had to be cleaned up.
No one was hurt in the crash.
The offramp was shut down after the rollover and it remained closed at 11 a.m., several hours after the closure.
Update: Fuel has been transferred out of the tanker and into other trucks. Firefighters are washing down the off ramp and all of the water/diesel will be vacuumed into an environmental clean up truck. @CSP_News and @ColoradoDOT will remain on scene for vehicle removal. pic.twitter.com/xexnC4m4Uj
