Fuel spill on Route 309

A fuel spill from a ruptured fuel tank forced the closure of Route 309 on the Mile Hill yesterday.

Schuylkill County EMA officials told WPPA/T-102 News that a dump truck was attempting to turn at the bottom of Mile Hill, when a piece of concrete on the median ruptured the tank, covering the road with fuel.

The roadway was closed for several hours while the mess was cleaned up.
