Truck spills antifreeze in Warren
Police are looking for a pickup truck after it dropped a container of antifreeze in Warren and then fled the scene Tuesday morning.
WARREN, Mich. (FOX 2) - Warren police are currently searching for a driver who dropped a large container of antifreeze on Eight Mile and left it Tuesday morning.
That container leaked, spilling about 175 gallons onto the road.
The backstory:
Security video captured a black Ford pickup truck driving on Eight Mile near Van Dyke around 4:20 a.m. Tuesday while pulling a trailer with the container of antifreeze on it. After dropping that container onto the road, the driver continued, leaving it behind.
By the time first responders were called to the scene around 5:45 a.m., the container had leaked. Though it was determined there was no environmental risk from the spill, officials estimate that the emergency and response cost more than $10,000.
The container had no identifying markers, and police are now working to find the person who dropped it. The truck, which also appeared to have a yellow cage in the bed, was last seen traveling north on Van Dyke to Stephens.
