TAMPA – A busy intersection is open again.

Earlier this morning, a gasoline spill had forced the closure of sections of Kennedy Boulevard and Lois Avenue, according to Tampa Police.

The spill occurred as underground tanks at the BP station at the intersection of Kennedy and Lois were being filled. At about 6:30 a.m., the gas began overflowing, spilling an undetermined amount of gasoline, according to Tampa Police spokeswoman Kristin Molina.
