PEORIA, Ill. – Peoria firefighters were called to the area of W. Pioneer Parkway and N. Harker Drive Wednesday afternoon for a HAZMAT situation.
Fire Battalion Chief Steve Rada says around 3:15 p.m., crews found a large box truck had hit a pole, and ruptured its 50-gallon saddle gas tank.
The Peoria HAZMAT team was able to stop the leak, preventing further spread of diesel fuel.
A light pole was damaged, but no injuries were reported.
The truck was towed from the scene.
