NORTH KINGSTOWN, R.I. (WPRI) — Crews cleaned up approximately 500 gallons of oil that spilled onto a road in North Kingstown Saturday afternoon.
Fire Chief Scott Kettelle said the leak near Dry Bridge Road stemmed from an oil truck that was parked at a nearby facility for repairs.
“[The oil truck] had sprung a leak in the piping, in all likelihood due to the weather over the last few days,” Kettelle said.
Kettelle said crews responded to the scene around 1:45 p.m. and were able to quickly stop the source of the leak and clean up.
