A fuel tanker spilled more than 3,500 gallons of fuel after it crashed into a barrier on northbound Interstate 405 in Bellevue Sunday night.

At approximately 9:50 p.m., a car attempting to enter the freeway from Northeast Eighth Street spun out of control, hitting the tanker. The vehicle was attempting to cross multiple lanes of traffic when it hit the tanker, which was knocked into a jersey barrier on the side of the road.

Lee & Eastes Tank Lines estimated there was 7,000 gallons of fuel in the rear tank at the time of the accident. A portion of the 3,500 spilled gallons of fuel ran off into Lake Washington, officials said. Washington State Department of Ecology and Bellevue Utilities were called to mitigate the spill and evaluate the environmental impact.

I-405 was closed for nearly five hours while crews worked to right the trailer and remove its fuel.

Bellevue Fire Department personnel took the driver of the passenger vehicle to Overlake Hospital Medical Center with minor injuries.
