LONGVIEW — A stretch of road is open again in Longview following a Wednesday morning spill. Part of Eastman Road was shut down at around 8:00 a.m. after hydraulic fluid spilled from a Longview Asphalt truck. Fire department officials said the eastbound exit ramp to Eastman was shut down at the interstate, along with the outside northbound lane on South Eastman Road to Neiman Marcus Parkway. Longview Fire Chief J.P. Steelman said a hazardous materials team was sent to the scene to assist in cleaning up the spill near the intersection of Eastman and Interstate 20. Police spokeswoman Kristie Brian said the fluid started spilling from the asphalt truck while the motorist was driving, and there was no reported wreck with the incident.
