Raleigh authorities shut down Blue Ridge Road from Hillsborough Street to Western Boulevard Sunday evening after an oil tanker spilled fuel into a storm drain.
Posted — UpdatedAbout 100 gallons of fuel leaked out of a tanker refueling underground tanks at a gas station on Blue Ridge Road. Some of the fuel went into a storm drain, but it was contained there, said Raleigh police.
