Downtown Columbus highway ramp reopens after fuel leak from crashed semi

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- A Downtown Columbus highway ramp has reopened Sunday afternoon after a morning crash of a semi-truck leaked fuel on the roadway.

A police dispatcher said the semi jackknifed into a wall at 8:13 a.m. while driving east on Interstate 70 towards the Interstate 71 northbound ramp. The semi was carrying a 100-gallon tank of diesel fuel that began leaking after the crash.

Columbus police, fire, and hazmat teams responded and evaluated the driver at the scene who did not suffer any significant injuries. Authorities closed the ramp as they continued to clean up the spill.

According to police dispatchers, the ramp is reopened.
