Wreck a mile away shuts down road...

#1 Postby therock1811 » Mon Mar 29, 2004 9:57 am

Well a tractor trailer wreck this morning has shut down US 42, a major E/W road here in Florence...details from WLWT-TV's webpage:

Busy Roadway Closed After Wreck, Diesel Spill
No Injuries Reported
A busy stretch of Tri-State roadway is closed at this hour because of a wreck involving a tractor-trailer that ended up leaking its load of diesel fuel.

The wreck happened shortly before 6 a.m. on U.S. 42 near the Union-Florence exit ramp off Interstate 71/75, WLWT Eyewitness News 5 reported.

At one point, it was believed that 80 gallons of diesel had leaked -- some of it into the sewer system -- after the tractor trailer's tank ruptured. Eastbound Route 42 at I-75 likely will be closed for most of the morning, WLWT reported.

Hazmat is among the numerous crews currently at the scene.

No injuries were reported.

No other information is available.

Please follow WLWT Eyewitness News 5 and ChannelCincinnati.com for updates to this story as they become available.

Wow, Jeremy thanks for that update. Didn't even have local news on this morning and I usually do. And here I was thinking of running over to Florence Mall today. So I appreciate the heads up. To those who may be confused, Florence Mall is near this accident and there's a store there not in my area. Figures. I need a specific Birthday gift for my niece.

If only 80 gallons have leaked, that is great. What is going on with all of these tankers having accidents lately? It is scary to think about it....

Here's a live look at the area via an artimis camera at that area...you can see the ramp here does appear open, but don't let that fool you, no one is getting onto EB 42!
