JULY 19, 2023 - Six days after a tanker truck jackknifed on I-26 going west on the Saluda grade, spilling 8,000 gallons of petroleum in a fiery explosion, an investigation is underway into the environmental impact and crews are at multiple sites working to reabsorb as much oil as possible with oil-absorbent booms.
