Highway 70 at Silo Road was closed for a little more than an hour Tuesday after cow feed made from fat spilled out of a truck onto the roadway.

The spill, which made the roadway slick, happened at 7:40 pm. Traffic was blocked until Durant firefighters used approximately 100 pounds of absorbent to soak up the spill, according to a fire department report.

Authorities cleared the roadway and opened it up for traffic at 8:43 p.m.
