PLANO, Texas — A fuel spill shut down U.S. 75 in Plano and backed up traffic for miles as crews worked to clean it up Tuesday morning.
Plano Fire-Rescue crews shut down the highway around 10 a.m. at Spring Creek Parkway. Crews allowed the HOV lane to get by, but the main lanes remained closed for about two hours, reopening around noon.
Traffic was backed up to President George Bush Turnpike as cars funneled through the HOV lane.
Officials had estimated the highway would be closed for about an hour for cleanup.
No injuries were reported, and more information was not yet available.
As crews worked to clean up the spill, rain began moving through the area. Showers were expected to continue through the day Tuesday and into Wednesday, with storms possible Tuesday evening.
