Hazmat teams control jet fuel spill on I-35 rest area
Franklin County Hazardous Materials team and Ottawa Fire Department responded after about 1 000 gallons of JP-4 jet fuel leaked from an Army tanker at the Homewood rest area near Ottawa. Trooper Thomasson said the sideswiping driver was Valerie Boem of Columbia Missouri. Three punctures were plugged after two attempts using perma gum and foam to contain and offload the fuel while traffic was reduced to one lane. Officials will decide on further cleanup.
