California pipeline spills about 29400 gallons of crude oil

A hazard investigation was initiated by Ventura County Fire Department and Ventura City Fire Department just after 5:30 a.m.in the area of Grove Lane and Grove Street.

The oil belongs to Aera Energy, which owns 1,000 miles of pipeline in various California counties.

This story has been corrected with officials now saying the estimated size of spill is 29,400 gallons, after they initially estimated 210,000 gallons.
