At least 50 gallons of oil spilled on the southbound U.S. Highway 95 Monday morning after an oil spill, the Nevada Highway Patrol said.
Just after 7:40 a.m., a commercial truck oil tanker carrying road oil flipped onto its side on U.S. 95 just before the Eastern Avenue exit, Nevada Highway Patrol trooper Chelsea Stuenkel said.
No other vehicles were involved, and the tanker’s driver was uninjured, the Highway Patrol said.
