Something does not smell right, fuel tankers are all standard heights, less than 13’ and all interstate highway bridges are 14’ or more high, that is at least 12” of clearance.

There were two Semi’s the tanker and a gravel truck behind it. There was a woman in a pickup who did not want to pass on the left. People were getting by in the right lane. Then something happened.

Early reports that the tanker hit the TOP of the bridge/overpass may not be correct.

It appears the tanker and a tractor-trailer rig collided.
The tanker may have hit the bridge supports or side.
