A small oil spill caused headaches for drivers and cleanup crews Monday in Burlington when a truck hauling used motor oil spilled around 100 gallons onto the road near Highway 61 and Mount Pleasant Avenue.
Burlington Fire Officials say that one of the containers failed on its top right corner, causing the oil to spill on the road. The truck is owned by Roth Trucking.
Burlington Fire Department crews, Iowa Department of Transportation Officials, Des Moines County Secondary Roads Crews, and the Iowa Department of Natural Resources spent around two hours and used 29 oil dry bags to clean up the spill.
The incident occured at around 9:48 am.
