Santa Barbara oil spill stretched more than 100 miles

LOS ANGELES – A petroleum pipeline company said Friday that oil from a Santa Barbara, California, spill spread more than 100 miles to Los Angeles County beaches.

Houston-based Plains All American Pipeline said that oil from its pipeline was found as far away as Redondo Beach.

Federal regulators and prosecutors are investigating the spill of up to 101,000 gallons of crude oil along the scenic shore. The reports confirm suspicions that the pipe was the source of tar that washed ashore in Los Angeles about a week after the spill.
