405 Freeway Reopens After Hours-Long Closure
A Sigalert was issued for the 405 Freeway in North Hills where a tanker leaked fuel, shutting down all northbound lanes for hours.
LOS ANGELES, CA — The northbound San Diego (405) Freeway was completely shut down in North Hills where a tanker truck leaked fuel into the roadway Tuesday morning.
The freeway remained closed for hours and was finally cleaned up by 12:30 p.m. All lanes of the northbound side of the 405 Freeway had remained closed from Devonshire Street to the Golden State (5) Freeway connector, three hours after a 100-gallon diesel fuel leak from a tanker truck near Rinaldi Street.
