There were no injuries, but up to 50 gallons of diesel fuel spilled on the roadway and Sir Francis Drake Boulevard was closed for two hours, said a spokesman for the Kentfield Fire Protection District.

The Berkeley Farms delivery truck collided with a Volvo stationwagon and overturned on Sir Francis Drake Boulevard near Berry Way at about 8 a.m., the spokesman said.

The fuel was captured before it entered waterways. Clean-up of the fuel and contaminated soil will continue into the afternoon, but will not affect traffic, the spokesman said.

The cause of the accident was under investigation.
