Oil spill under investigation at Carson refinery

An oil spill is under investigation at an oil refinery in Carson. 

It happened late Friday evening at the plant located at S. Alameda Street and E. Sepulveda Boulevard, according to Los Angeles County Fire Department officials. 

There's no information on how the spill came to be, but with SkyCal overhead a large amount of oil could be seen in the road outside of the refinery, appearing to run dozens of yards along northbound lanes. Some large valves and pipes were also spotted just near the puddle of oil. 

Both firefighters and refinery workers were on scene working to assess the situation. 

No injuries have been reported. 

Despite initial reporting that the spill occurred at a Marathon Petroleum Corporation refinery, officials say that they do not have any active pipelines at the location. They say that they shut down any lines and performed visual inspections out of an abundance of caution, but that they found no indication of a leak.
