Diesel oil spill and cleanup from crashes on 401 at Yonge

The stench of diesel oil hangs over the 401 between Avenue Rd. and Yonge Saturday morning after a transport truck hit a concrete barrier and spilled what is being called “a significant amount” of diesel fuel. The accident happened in the westbound collector lanes of the highway at around 7 a.m. This was one of two tractor-trailer crashes Saturday within a few hundred feet of each other. It’s a mess.
