One north bound lane of Ga. 21 from the Chatham County line to Fort Howard Road in Rincon is closed due to a spill.
Effingham County Sheriff’s Office spokesman David Ehsanipoor said the spill appears to be some type of oil that may have leaked from a truck. The spill is in several areas of the roadway.
Ehsanipoor said deputies and the fire department are on the scene.
Deputies are asking motorists to avoid the area if possible.
“Drivers should slow down if they can’t avoid the area and follow the directions of deputies,” Ehsanipoor said.
The lane is expected to be closed until at least 5 p.m.
