Traffic was diverted Thursday morning on Bermuda Road and West Park Place after a wreck caused diesel fuel to spill, Gwinnett County authorities said.
Fire spokesman Lt. Colin Rhoden said 80 to 100 gallons of fuel spilled from a truck after it collided with a car. Some of the truck's fuel made its way into nearby storm drains before the arrival of hazmat cleanup crews, Rhoden said.
"It didn't travel very far, so we were able to contain a good bit of the spill," the spokesman said. "We weren't able to prevent it all from getting in there."
Rhoden said the Environmental Protection Agency was alerted. He said the driver of the car was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries. The truck driver was not injured.
