At around 3 p.m. Friday, the California Highway Patrol closed the Balboa Boulevard off-ramp on the 5 freeway in response to an estimated 100-gallon oil spill near the Highway 14 and 5 Freeway interchange in Newhall, officials said.

Thanks for finally reporting this! None of the radio stations, including KNX, were informing commuters about this Major traffic event. I ended up taking the 118 to the 23 to the 126 to the 5 in order to get home. I did not want to be stuck in a virtual parking lot all night long.
