Parleys Creek fuel spill: Semitruck crash dumps diesel into water

Emergency crews responded to a fuel spill in Parleys Creek early Thursday that was caused by a semitruck crash on Interstate 80.

The truck lost control at about 4 a.m. and jackknifed into a concrete barrier on I-80 near milepost 133, just south of Mountain Dell Reservoir and the Parleys Water Treatment Plant, Utah Highway Patrol spokesperson Cameron Roden said.

The truck was hauling food, but Roden said the crash ruptured the vehicle’s fuel tanks and spilled about 150 gallons of diesel fuel near Parleys Creek, which is a protected watershed.
