EAST LOS ANGELES (KABC) — <\/span>The state says oiled birds from Friday’s ruptured pipeline spill in East Los Angeles are now receiving care locally. The rupture sent thousands of gallons of crude oil into streets, storm drains and the L.A. River.<\/p>\n

It comes as crude oil entered storm drains and ended up in the L.A. River after an underground pipeline was struck by a crew installing fiber optic cables near the intersection of East Cesar E. Chavez Avenue and North Eastern Avenue. Officials estimated that about 2,400 gallons of oil leaked during the incident.<\/p>\n
