SAN DIEGO — A tanker overturned Monday in the Palm City area, sending gallons of cooking oil and water onto the streets.
The crash happened just before 9 a.m. on Coronado Avenue near the on-ramp to northbound Interstate 5, according to the California Highway Patrol.
According to authorities, the spill forced the closure of the ramp to northbound I-5 and a stretch of Coronado Avenue heading towards the onramp. Fire officials said there was a low leak that was contained, but 6,500 gallons of the mixture has to be moved to another tanker.
The area will be closed at the northbound I-5 to Coronado Avenue for a few hours during the cleanup. The cause of the crash was under investigation.
