Police officers were called on Tuesday to help supervise the steam cleaning of a two-mile stretch of road after a tractor-trailer spilled 100 gallons of diesel fuel.
Sgt. Art Romo said the truck's fuel tank was punctured when its driver made a sharp turn in the 700 block of East Chalynn Avenue. Authorities closed a lane of La Veta Avenue between Shaffer and Pepper streets as the crew from a Stanton environmental company applied chemicals and steam to clean the road.
