11-18-04 – Crews were still working Thursday morning to clean up a fuel leak in Sherman. Wednesday morning, more than 275 gallons of gasoline began to leak from a Texaco gas pump in the 2000 block of Texoma Parkway.

Traffic on Texoma Parkway between Peyton and Taylor was shut down for just under four hours.
Authorities say a private company was pressure testing the tank for leaks Wednesday morning - a process that could have created the fuel spill.
