Semi-truck crash on Highway 33 in Kings County leaves 3k pounds of crude oil on road

KINGS COUNTY, Calif. (KFSN) -- A crash in Kings County left 3,000 pounds of crude oil on the road.

The crash happened shortly after 6 a.m. on Highway 33 north of South 7th Avenue, just outside the city of Avenal.

Fire officials say two semi-trucks crashed head-on, which led to crude oil and trash filling the road.

Officials say 3,000 pounds of oil are on the road, and another 3,700 pounds will need to be placed in another container to avoid spilling.

The drivers suffered minor injuries and declined to be taken to the hospital.
