A jackknifed semi is causing major traffic delays on I-84 west and has spilled gallons of fuel on the freeway. 

All westbound lanes of I-84 are closed near 207th Avenue after a truck jackknifed and spilled about 150 gallons of fuel across the freeway, according to the Oregon Department of Transportation.

Westbound traffic is being directed off the highway at Fairview.

Crews are working to move the truck and clean the spill.

But there is no estimated time for re-opening during the busiest hours of the mornig commute. 

Rain is expected to continue today, causing traffic delays.
