Hazmat Level 2 Response to Jackknifed Big Rig Fuel Leak at Elder Creek Rd & Younger Creek Dr

Summary: A jackknifed big rig at the intersection of Elder Creek Road and Younger Creek Drive in Sacramento, California, resulted in a hazardous materials situation. One of the truck's 50-gallon saddle tanks was ruptured and leaking fuel steadily, while the other remained intact. Emergency crews initially responded with a Level 1 hazmat response, but the incident was escalated to Level 2 due to the ongoing leak. The fuel was leaking primarily into the dirt, not into any waterway, and absorbent pads were deployed. There were no injuries reported, and the driver had already requested a tow. The situation was contained, but additional hazmat resources were requested to assist with stopping the leak before the vehicle could be towed.
