A tractor-trailer has apparently had a fuel tank punctured while on the Thruway.
A tie between two tanks ruptured and is gone, according to a chief on scene, and fuel is spilling from both tanks, which have a 120 gallon capacity (they were about half full, the driver said).
Fuel has spilled and "several cars have been contaminated," according to emergency dispatch.
The accident occurred in the area of mile marker 388 in the westbound lane.
Town of Batavia Fire has been dispatched.
UPDATE 5:55 p.m. (Billie): About 20 gallons has leaked out, but the leak is thought to be stopped at this point, according to a fireman.
UPDATE 6:32 p.m.: Crews were about to leave the scene when the tank started leaking again.
