NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A tanker fuel spill at the Circle K at 4126 Gallatin Pike shut down north and southbound lanes Tuesday morning.
Fire crews say upon arrival to the scene they found that a tanker carrying gasoline was leaking. The driver had recently offloaded some product at that fueling station, and when they were leaving hit something that ruptured one of the valves.
Approximately 2000 gallons of fuel was leaked out.
Nashville Fire crews used damming and dyking techniques to contain the fuel and prevent any further runoff into storm drains.

September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
