Because the semi truck’s tanks were full of diesel fuel at the time of the crash, precautions were taken by the San Marcos Fire Department.\u00a0The Fire Department responded at about 5 p.m and shoveled sand over portions of the highway to prevent the fuel from spreading. Fire officials told the media that there was no immediate fire danger.<\/p>\n

The truck driver was taken to a local hospital with minor injuries.<\/p>\n

The incident remains under investigation at this time.<\/p>\n
