Tanker accident ties up morning commute

MIAMI (WSVN) -- A collision involving a car and a tanker truck caused heavy delays during the Wednesday morning commute.

The accident happened along LeJeune Road and Flagler Street at about 5:40 a.m. Investigators said the driver of the car slammed into a tanker truck, rupturing its gas tank, causing diesel fuel to spill onto the road.

The spill forced officials to shut down the intersection while crews cleaned up the mess.
