HazMat teams cleaning up big mess at Bush Intercontinental Airport

HOUSTON

A tanker truck lost control on a ramp near a cargo area of the airport around 10:15 last night. The truck flipped, spilling a portion of the 5,000 gallons of fuel it was carrying.

The driver was taken to the hospital with cuts and bruises.

Crews say the spill would have been much worse if the weather was warmer and the fuel was thicker.
