Parleys Creek fuel spill: Semitruck crash dumps diesel into water

Emergency crews responded to a fuel spill in Parleys Creek early Thursday that was caused by a semitruck crash on Interstate 80.

The truck lost control at about 4 a.m. and jackknifed into a concrete barrier on I-80 near milepost 133, just south of Mountain Dell Reservoir and the Parleys Water Treatment Plant, Utah Highway Patrol spokesperson Cameron Roden said.

The truck was hauling food, but Roden said the crash ruptured the vehicle’s fuel tanks and spilled about 150 gallons of diesel fuel near Parleys Creek, which is a protected watershed.

Salt Lake City’s drinking water supply has not been impacted, Salt Lake City Public Utilities spokesperson Jessie Killinger said Thursday morning. The agency is working with the Salt Lake County Health Department and Salt Lake City fire to mitigate environmental impacts to the creek and the Jordan River.

Salt Lake City fire crews remained at Tanner Park and Sugar House Park late Thursday morning to mitigate the spill. Tanner Park features an expansive off-leash dog park.

“Please keep your animals out of Parleys Creek for the foreseeable future,” Salt Lake City fire advised.

As of late Thursday morning, the I-80 crash site had been cleared and all lanes had since reopened.

Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. sets the tone for Washington Huskies’ run to the college football title game

New Orleans • The Sugar Bowl was a little more than 24 hours away, and sixth-year Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. called a players-only meeting as their moment drew near. He walked to the front of the room on two surgically repaired knees along with edge rusher Edefuan Ulofoshio and delivered a message. The new year was five hours away. Bourbon Street was a short walk away. Families flooded into town. Texas fans, much to Washington’s chagrin, were all over the Huskies’ team hotel, too. This was their time to lock in and focus. They needed to block out distractions, though the midnight fireworks downtown made it hard to get to sleep early. He reminded them they’d been working their whole lives for an opportunity like the one they’d earned. They’d won their past nine games by 10 or fewer points and needed second-half comebacks to win three of them. All of it had carried them to this moment. He told them to be ready. No one was more ready than Penix himself, who connect...
