A tanker truck carrying about 7,500 gallons of diesel fuel overturned Monday on Interstate 75 north at Stop Eight Road after hitting a sedan and then a guardrail, stopping traffic in both directions for more than eight hours, the Ohio Highway Patrol said.
I-75 was shut from the Needmore Road exit to I-70 at 11:38 a.m., Ohio Highway Patrol dispatchers said. By 2:20 p.m., the southbound lanes were reopened while the three northbound lanes remained closed until 7:26 p.m., a patrol dispatcher said.
