USA, Fairfield: About 15 gallons of mineral oil spilled from a transformer that was knocked from a utility pole during a recent vehicle crash.

The oil is considered a hazardous material with a low risk to humans and the environment, the county Environmental Health Division reported in a Proposition 65 notice to the Board of Supervisors.

The crash occurred Friday near the Cordelia Winery, 2650 Cordelia Road and a PG&E contractor cleaned up the spill.
