AUSTIN (KXAN) - An 18-wheeler is leaking diesel fuel onto the road in Northeast Travis County after a wreck, though officials said it poses no danger.

The accident happened around 8:30 a.m. in the 5200 block of East Parmer and Yager lanes.

The semitruck appeared to be heading east on Parmer Lane when it hit the guardrail and crossed over the median. It is blocking the westbound side of Parmer Lane.

Still, traffic heading east is able to get by slowly.
