ORLANDO, Fla. — An early morning crash on westbound State Road 408 is causing delays and slippery conditions on the roadway Thursday morning.
The crash, which happened around 3:30 a.m. near the Conway Toll Plaza, involved a concrete truck that Orlando police said spilled diesel fuel and a caustic chemical on the roadway.
All westbound lanes for the highway were blocked for more than an hour, but all lanes opened to allow traffic through as of 6:15 a.m.
Officers warned that the lanes of the roadway past the toll plaza are slippery due to the diesel spill.
