WHITE HOUSE, Tenn. (AP) - About 7,400 gallons of gasoline spilled into a White House creek after a tractor trailer tipped over on Interstate 65 in Robertson County.
The Tennessean reports that emergency workers said in a statement that residents should turn of their air conditioners if they smell fumes and to call 911 if the fumes cause medical issues. The spill happened on Saturday near Highway 76.
The White House Water District says drinking water in the area is not contaminated, according to tests, but officials advised residents not to let animals drink from the creek or pond in the area.
Hazmat crews are trying to mitigate damage.
