A big-rig car carrier was leaking diesel fuel on the northbound 101 Freeway transition road to the southbound 110 Freeway, prompting a SigAlert in downtown Los Angeles early Wednesday, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The driver pulled the big-rig over and apparently saw fuel spilling from the gas tank onto several freeway lanes shortly after 1:30 a.m., CHP Officer Francisco Villalobos told The Times.
"We have diesel fuel in the two right lanes of the northbound 101 and also on the transition roads from southbound 110," he said.
No injuries were reported and Caltrans was called to clean up the spill. Iit's unclear how wide the diesel fuel spread and how long it will take to reopen the roads before the morning rush hour.
"Once they get on scene and they asses the size of it, they can probably give us an estimation of when they can clean it up," Villalobos said.
"Traffic is showing to be light in the area, but its affecting the people coming east," he added.
