Dye Leaks From Semi

(Portland, OR) -- A truck carrying red-colored dye spilled it on freeways in the Portland area for several miles on Saturday. Multnomah County Sheriff's deputies stopped 40-year-old Junior Jean. His route included I-205 and I-84. At one point, he stopped when a driver pointed out the leak, but the company he worked for told him to keep driving. The dye is supposed to be water soluble, so it should wash away. Deputies want drivers who were on I-205 northbound or Northeast Marine Drive between 6 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Saturday to check their vehicle. If it has dye that doesn't come off after a car wash, they should contact the sheriff's office. Jean was cited for having a leaking load, criminal mischief, and reckless driving.
