CYPRESS (CBSLA.com) — Crews worked to clean up an oil leak Thursday that appeared along a busy street in Cypress.

Around 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, 10 to 15 gallons of petroleum oil began to seep up from the ground located on Cerritos Avenue near Valley View Street, according to the Orange County Fire Authority.
