COLBERT, OK -- Clean up of a fuel spill and accident in Southern Bryan County ties up traffic along 69/75 Wednesday afternoon.

It happened in Colbert just north of the Love's Truck Stop.

Police tell us 150 gallons of diesel spilled onto the northbound lanes of the highway during an accident involving two semi's.
