A tanker truck carrying over 8,000 gallons of fuel overturned in Del City, Oklahoma after trying to avoid rising flood waters.
The incident occurred on Sunnylane Road on Friday evening.
Steve Fernandez, Del City’s Fire Captain, told KFOR reporters “I believe he got a little too close to the edge. The road gave way.”
There were no fuel leaks after the tanker overturned, and the driver escape unscathed.
It took several hours for wreckers to remove the fallen semi.
