An 18-wheeler was parked off to the side.

MFR officials confirmed that the tractor-trailer spilled 40 gallons of diesel fuel.

Only the express lanes were open after the leak.

Local 10 traffic reporter Alexis Frazier urged drivers to use U.S. 1 as an alternate route.

The cause of the fuel leak was not immediately clear.
