The City of Plano is working to contain an oil spill after an oil tanker crashed and overturned on Friday afternoon.
According to a preliminary traffic investigation, at about 1 p.m., the driver of a white Mazda ran a red light and was struck on the passenger side by an oil tanker truck traveling through the intersection of Spring Creek Parkway and Windhaven Parkway.
The tanker truck then overturned onto the driver’s side, coming to rest on the curb and blocking northbound lanes of Windhaven Parkway and Spring Creek Parkway.
The driver of the oil tanker was trapped inside the cab and had to be extricated by Plano Fire-Rescue.
Two people, including the driver of the oil tanker, were transported to a hospital in stable condition.
According to the city, motor oil began spilling into a nearby storm drain that leads to White Rock Creek. Hazmat crews deployed booms to contain the spread of oil in the creek.
Plano Police, Plano’s hazmat team and Plano Fire-Rescue worked to contain the spill, the Plano Fire Department said in a statement.
Affected soil has already been removed and vacuum trucks are being used to remove oil from the storm sewer system and visible oil in the creek, according to the city.
