HAZEL PARK, Mich. (WXYZ) - I-75 is shutdown in both directions from 8 mile to I-696 in Hazel Park after a tanker truck full of fuel exploded Wednesday night.
Three vehicles were involved in the accident – the tanker truck, a Meijer semi and a car. The tanker was carrying 13,000 gallons of fuel when it exploded.

Amazingly, no one was killed. Three people were taken to Beaumont hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

The Michigan Department of Transportation remains on the scene to access the damage. Members of the Environmental Protection Agency are also out at the crash scene. They’re checking the air quality and making sure the water is safe for people in the area.

This overpass was rebuilt just one year ago; now it will have to be rebuilt again. One of their primary concerns is if any of the fuel made it into the drainage system along the freeway.

At one point 10,000 customers were without power. DTE says all power has since been restored.

I just got my cable back on a few minutes ago.
I have pictures. The fire took like 8 hours to put out. There was smoke like 2 mile long. I can't even believe that something like this happened 30 seconds away from my house. It's really scary.
