A massive oil spill that spread 11,000 gallons of gasoline and diesel fuel around the traffic circle at 27 de Febrero and Luperon Avenues was finally cleaned up yesterday. Units from the Santo Domingo Fire Department cleaned up the mess that was caused when a tanker truck belonging to the Isla Company overturned on Friday. The accident caused a huge traffic jam that lasted for hours. According to Santo Domingo Fire Chief Oscar Guillermo Garcia, a great deal of the fuel was recovered with pumps and most of the work centered round cleaning up the mess so that a stray cigarette end would not set the pavement alight. According to statements taken at the scene, the driver admitted falling asleep at the wheel.
