Charleston, W.V : Diesel spills after fatal Greenbrier County crash on Monday afternoon, March 27, 2017
Charleston, West Virginia
Authorities in Crawley worked through Monday afternoon to clear a scene where one person died and a shipment of diesel spilled near the Shawvers Crossing area.
About 300 gallons of diesel leaked onto U.S. 60 after a tractor-trailer collided with another vehicle, according to the initial spill report, which doesn’t specify who died.
Though Beaver Creek is located nearby, inspectors reported the spill was under control and had not entered the waterway.
“This spill will not impact a water system, but the nearest water system was notified of the accident as a precaution,” Allison Adler, the director of communications for the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources, wrote in an email.
The tractor-trailer belonged to BWC Trucking in Ironton, Ohio, according to the spill report.
Greenbrier County dispatchers said the crash was first reported at about 9:30 a.m.
