WEST CHESTER, Ohio — A fire involving a tanker truck carrying diesel fuel shut down an I-75 overpass in West Chester Tuesday afternoon.
West Chester officials said the Union Centre Boulevard overpass between Muhlhauser and Cincinnati Dayton Road remains closed after crews extinguished both the fire on the truck and a fire in the storm drain.
Resources from surrounding communities, including Cincinnati, were called to the scene to help with the fire. Hazmat remained there for leaking fuel, while the Ohio Department of Transportation was called to inspect the overpass.
Officials said the driver was able to get out of the vehicle, and there are no known injuries at this time.
While the interstate remains open, officials said the overpass may be closed for "some time." The southbound ramp remains closed while the northbound ramp has reopened.
