Most of the palm oil that spilled after a semi-truck went off the road and into an icy pond next to Interstate 90 was cleaned up by Friday morning, according to the Washington Department of Ecology. A semi pulling two trailers went off I-90 near Milepost 107 on Wednesday near Ellensburg. State officials said the semi crossed four lanes of highway and came to rest in a retention pond that was about 4 feet deep. The driver was not injured.
