Emergency crews responded to a hazardous materials leak Friday morning in southwest Oklahoma City, authorities said.

The Oklahoma City Fire Department said a truck parked at a gas station near South Council Road and Southwest 8th Street began leaking hazardous materials.

OKCFD said the material leaking is lactic acid and there is no public health concern at this time.

According to firefighters. the leak started when a truck carrying the hazardous materials was traveling on Interstate 40 near I-44 when the driver hit the brakes to avoid a wreck.

OKCFD said that after slowing down, the material inside the truck damaged the trailer, causing the leak. The driver of the truck is expected to be fine.

OKCFD also said crews will continue to work to clean up the spill for several hours.
