At Least 12,000 Barrels Of Crude Oil Spill In Arkansas [PHOTOS]

On Friday, an ExxonMobil pipeline ruptured in Mayflower, Arkansas, spewing thousands of gallons of crude being transported from Canada's oil sands.

The 65-year-old Pegasus pipeline remained shut off on Monday as emergency crews continue to contain the spill, Exxon said in a statement on Monday.

The cause of the spill is still under investigation, the company said.

Twenty-two homes were evacuated after oil painted lawns, roads, and some ducks.

About 12,000 barrels of oil and water have been recovered so far, Exxon said.
