Westbound lanes of the 60 Freeway in East Los Angeles were closed Wednesday afternoon due to a multi-vehicle crash that spilled fuel across the road.
The crash happened around 2:45 p.m. near the 710 Freeway interchange and involved a big rig and at least one passenger vehicle, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Roughly 90 gallons of diesel fuel spilled onto the freeway, prompting Caltrans to issue a Sigalert for westbound lanes.
Sky5 footage showed the traffic backup extended for several miles. Two of the six westbound lanes reopened around 4:30 p.m.
No serious injuries were reported. The cause of the crash was under investigation.
