Cranmer said as many as 120 gallons were lost in the resulting spill. The accident occurred just after 3 p.m. Wednesday afternoon.

The trucking company called an environmental company to complete the cleanup, Cranmer said.

The Godfrey Fire Protection District stayed on the scene, cleaning the spill until 6:40 p.m. Cranmer said an unknown amount leaked into the storm drain, but firefighters were able to contain most of it with an absorbent substance.
