A fuel spill along I-20 Bossier City is causing major traffic problems tonight. The westbound lanes are closed as crews try to clean up the spill. A truck's gas tank ruptured, sending at least 100 gallons of fuel onto 1-20 between old Minden Road and Airline drive. Police say the tank was gashed by a piece of metal that fell off a passing trailer. Three cars were involved in a chain reaction wreck when they skidded through the spilled fuel, spreading it even further along the highway. No one was injured. Right now there's no word when the road will re-open.
