18-WHEELER CRASH ON FM 1314 TURNS INTO HAZMAT CLEANUP

At 7pm Monday a US Express truck was traveling north on FM 1314 near Gene Campbell when a southbound female motorist passed the gas station of her choice and attempted to turn around to get to it. As she did her Chevrolet Traverse slammed into the side of the 18-wheeler ripping its axle out and rupturing the fuel tank. Diesel spilled onto the roadway and into the ditches. Milstead HAZMAT responded to the scene to set booms up in the ditches to capture the fuel and clean the roadway including pumping the remaining diesel from the tanks. The female suffered minor injuries. DPS is investigating.
