LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) — Lexington Fire Department says a crew responded to reports of a gas spill Wednesday morning at the Sunoco gas station on Red Mile Road.

The state's emergency response team says an estimated 1,400 gallons of gasoline was spilled while a tanker truck was delivering fuel. They also tell us that the spill was contained with no impact to surface water and the soil that was impacted is being removed.

LFD tells us the spill has been mostly contained to the ground and a catch basin.
