Damaged Exxon Mobil pipeline leaks crude oil into Yellowstone River

Crews in Montana are working to clean-up the thousands of gallons of oil that spilled from a broken Exxon Mobil pipeline into the Yellowstone River over the weekend, The Associated Press reported.

Exxon Mobil estimates that up to 42,000 gallons of crude oil spilled Friday night before the flow from the damaged pipeline was stopped, the article stated.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency – EPA, is still taking air and water samples to determine the impacts of the spill, according to the story.
