A commercial vehicle crash on Highway 41 led to a diesel spill and a blocked roadway on Monday.
A white Freightliner semi truck with two loaded trailers was reportedly northbound near milepost 14, south of Spirit Lake, when the driver failed to negotiate a left curve.
Danny Markley, 66, of Medical Lake, Wash., reportedly drove off the east side of the roadway, where the truck and trailers rolled, spilling the load.
A diesel spill of approximately 30-40 gallons was contained at the scene. Markley was wearing a seat belt and was uninjured.
The roadway was blocked for about two hours.
Alcohol is not believed to be a factor.
This is an ongoing investigation.
