Big-Rig Oil Leak Causes Delays on Highway 37

No crash occurred, say CHP officials.

A stalled big-rig has created a traffic jam on state Highway 37, south-west of Infineon Raceway, in Sonoma County this morning, a California Highway Patrol officer said.

The big-rig broke down at about 6:25 a.m. on westbound Highway 37 just west of state Highway 121, near the Infineon Raceway.

CHP Officer Kevin Bartlett said about 10 gallons of gas spilled onto the highway, but there does not appear to have been a crash.
