ALGOMA TOWNSHIP, Mich. — US-131 northbound was closed for hours early Tuesday due to a rolled semi and large fuel spill.
The driver suffered minor injuries, and an estimated 4,000 gallons of fuel spilled from the tanker, says Michigan State Police.
The crash occurred around 1:30 a.m., and the freeway was still closed at 11:45 a.m.
MSP says the left lane might reopen during soil cleanup once what's left of the fuel is emptied but the right lane will remain closed for at least the next few days.
Detour: East on 10 Mile, north on Northland Drive, and west on 14 Mile to 131.
Clean up continues. Approx. 4,000 gallons were spilled. Once the remaining fuel is emptied, the tanker will be removed and the soil clean-up will begin. Possibility that the left lane can be opened during soil clean up. A-1 Environmental Services are on scene. 3/ pic.twitter.com/Q1imHEQo6H
