Diesel spill closes Mt. Rose Highway
By Jaclyn O’Malley, Reno Gazette-Journal
An overturned truck that dumped 40 gallons of diesel fuel is causing Mount Rose Highway to be closed for the next hour, Nevada Highway Patrol reported.
Upon completion of the clean up, the road will be a single lane for the next few hours after that.
Troopers said motorists will have to travel through Carson City or Truckee as a detour.
The incident occurred about 11 a.m. on Mount Rose Highway near the Christmas Tree Inn. No injuries were reported.
