Possible oil spill clogs Haight-Ashbury

Police are directing traffic after the spill of a substance in San Francisco’s Haight Ashbury neighborhood this afternoon, according to a police dispatcher.

The dispatcher said officers responded to a report of a traffic jam in the area of Oak Street and Masonic Avenue around 2 p.m.

The Department of Public Works has been called to bring a street sweeper to the scene and clear the spill, the dispatcher said.
