I-25 Hazmat Cleanup: Southbound Closure After Tanker Crashes
Originally Published 1 year ago — by FOX 31 Denver
An overturned diesel fuel tanker on southbound I-25 in Castle Pines led to a closure for hazmat cleanup, with two right lanes still closed as of 12:10 p.m. The crash occurred at 2:21 a.m., resulting in a large diesel fuel spill and serious injuries to the driver. Crews worked to stop the fuel leak, with hazmat personnel containing about 2,500 gallons of the 9,000-gallon capacity tanker. The cleanup effort involved drilling holes into the damaged tank to siphon the fuel into a new tanker, and the road was partially reopened by midday.
