I-95 fuel tanker spill snarls traffic south of Edgewater

EDGEWATER -- A tanker truck carrying diesel fuel veered off Interstate 95, just south of Edgewater on Sunday afternoon, forcing the Florida Highway Patrol to shut down a brief stretch of the inside lane heading north, which snarled traffic.

Authorities said the tanker went off the roadway just after 3 p. m., spilling in excess of 100 gallons of fuel into the nearby woods, the FHP reported.
