Hydraulic fluid leak causes lane closure in Tomah

TOMAH, WI — The Tomah Police Department closed the southbound lane of the 100 block of N. Superior Ave. after a significant of hydraulic fluid leaked from a dump truck after a crash.

Police say the Tomah Fire Department responded to the incident at about 5:20 Thursday morning and was able to contain the spill to prevent the hydraulic fluid from entering a nearby storm drain.

About 200 feet of the outside southbound lane was closed for several hours so crews from the Monroe County Haz-Mat team could clean up the spill.
