JUST OVER THE BRIDGE OUTSIDE OUR EAST ENTRANCE. It's been on TV and will be in the paper tomorrow. A loaded dumptruck - the long kind - lost its brakes coming down the hill - westbound I think - hit 5 cars and took out the guard rail over the creek and dumped a hundred gallons or so of gasoline. Hazmat crews are there right now (10:30PM) Traffic westbound (I believe) will be one lane till they replace the guard rail.
Traffic was messed up for hours. We talked our way past the police and got to get home with a trunk full of groceries.
Someone was seriously hurt - no details on the TV report we saw.
KEYE-TV report here
"No one was killed, but several people were injured. Thousands were stuck in traffic for hours. People in the neighborhood say on Highway 71, there are a lot more wrecks than there used to be and they are usually pretty bad." KXAN Coverage here
