A tanker truck carrying some type of petroleum product has leaked as it traveled along U.S. 60 West in Crittenden and Livingston counties. Multiple automobile crashes have been reported as a result of the material being leaked onto the highway, creating slick spots. Driving is very hazardous, officials say.
The Kentucky Department of Highways has dispatched a crew to the area, which has been applying sand to trouble areas.
Appropriate caution is advised for all motorists traveling on U.S. 60 West between Marion and Smithland, said Keith Todd, spokesman for the Kentucky Department of Highways.
