Truck rollover spills 2,500 gallons of diesel

The state of Alaska says a tanker truck spilled about 2,500 gallons of diesel fuel on the Dalton Highway north of the Brooks Range.

The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reports (http://is.gd/QVT6mL ) that the state Department of Environmental Conservation said June 10 the northbound NANA Oilfield Services truck left the road and rolled over the afternoon of June 7 about 110 miles south of Deadhorse.

The truck was carrying about 9,700 gallons.

The state says the spill reached a small stream but it has gotten no reports of affected wildlife. Cleanup is under way.

The driver was treated at a Fairbanks hospital and released.
