The Washington Department of Ecology is responding to a tanker truck rollover on U.S. Highway 101 between milepost 237 and 238, where a dual-trailer rig left the road and overturned into Indian Creek in Clallam County. One trailer contains an estimated 3,900 gallons of diesel and the other up to 6,000 gallons of gasonline.
Initial reports indicate oil may be leaking into the creek, but that has not yet been confirmed. Ecology is mobilizing and will coordinate with on-scene partners and oversee the response once onsite.
The trucking company has hired a spill response contractor to support cleanup efforts.
