Molasses spill on US 60 near Salem

UPDATE: The Livingston County Highway crew has made several passes, spreading sand along U.S. 60 between Salem and Burna this morning in response to what was reported as a leaking molasses tanker truck.

Motorists should be aware that the smell of the molasses may attract deer along the roadway during the overnight hours.

The crew has completed its work at this time and will be checking the area again throughout the day.

We have a report of a molasses spill on U.S. 60 near Salem in Livingston County. Livingston highway maintenance crews are spreading sand to absorb the sticky material. Motorists should use caution in the area. More details as they become available.
