An 18-wheeler containing butter crashed on Interstate 45 Saturday, and despite being cleared, HAZMAT teams predict it'll take days to clean up the diesel gas that spilled onto the road and into the water. The truck ran off the road in the morning and crashed over the concrete wall on the River Plantation entrance to I-45 south, according to the Montgomery County Police Reporter police. The 3,000 pounds of butter inside the truck didn't waste, but over 150 gallons of diesel did. That diesel started running into the water toward the San Jacinto River.
