Because the semi truck’s tanks were full of diesel fuel at the time of the crash, precautions were taken by the San Marcos Fire Department. The Fire Department responded at about 5 p.m and shoveled sand over portions of the highway to prevent the fuel from spreading. Fire officials told the media that there was no immediate fire danger.
The truck driver was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries.
The incident remains under investigation at this time.
