Highway 20 accident snarls traffic

Because fuel was leaking from the vehicle, firefighters sprayed foam, prompting a longer cleanup operation.

Westbound traffic was stopped intermittently during the cleanup, which took several hours.

The state Department of Transportation responded and estimated about 20 gallons of fuel spilled.

There were two people in the vehicle and according to the State Patrol, they received minor injuries.
