SEATTLE (AP) — A stolen garbage truck crashed into another garbage truck in Seattle on Tuesday morning, causing a fire and diesel spill.

Seattle Police Department Lt. Brian Clenna told The Seattle Times (http://is.gd/2B4U9t ) an Allied Waste Services driver left his truck to get some help after a man started lunging at him. The man then stole his truck and drove it around before crashing into another garbage truck and at least one other vehicle.

A small fire was quickly extinguished.
