According to the Alameda County Fire battalion chief, the truck is leaking diesel fuel "from the system, not the tanks."
The battalion chief says there's under 40 gallons leaked and it's "not too bad," with nothing going into the storm drain. It is being treated as a hazmat situation.
The driver told Alameda County Fire officials that he fell asleep at the wheel.
