“We’re still gathering information — the analyst has been here gathering information, that’s why the highway has been shut down.”
As of 7 a.m., much of the scene had been cleaned up, but the area remained closed for investigation. Seaton said there was still cleanup that needed to be done.
“Right now, we’re just cleaning up the mess with the semi truck,” he said. “There was a lot of diesel that has been spilled. We’re cleaning up the last little bit.”
