GATEWAY, Colo. - Authorities say a tanker has rolled over on Highway 141 near Gateway.

Shortly after 6 o’clock Friday morning, crews responded to the crash near mile marker 120.

It’s uncertain if the tanker is near the roadway or if it has rolled into a nearby creek, but responders are worried about diesel fuel getting into the waterway.

Police dispatchers say a fire connected to the crash is burning some nearby brush.

Officials say there is no word on injuries, or whether the incident has closed a portion of the highway.

Hazmat crews and various other agencies are responding.

It's really cheap to put pictures on a web site. It's too bad you all aren't smart enough to do that. (Not video of talking heads, but pics of the accident. )
