As discussed during the dispatch call, emergency crews responded to a highway fuel spill on PA‑435 near the I‑84 on‑ramp toward Elmhurst. A tractor‑trailer’s fuel tank apparently ruptured, leaking diesel across both lanes. Highway and environmental crews, including PennDOT, EMA, and state police, were requested to assist with traffic control and cleanup efforts.
