Someone in Park City reportedly attempted to put more gasoline into a truck than the tank holds.

The Park City Police Department received the report at 8:19 a.m. on Monday, March 13 from a location on Park Avenue. The police were told someone put 20 gallons of gasoline into a truck that hold just 18 gallons.

Gas leaked and sand was used to stop the gas from spreading on the ground, the police said.
