Lanes reopen after tanker overturns on the 5 Freeway in Boyle Heights

All lanes have reopened after a gas tanker has overturned on the 5 Freeway in Boyle Heights early Saturday morning.

The crash happened just before 5 a.m. on a transition road from the southbound 5 Freeway to the eastbound 60 Freeway. Authorities say the single-tank big rig was carrying an unknown amount of pressurized propane.

The LAFPD says the crash didn't cause a gas leak, and crews could remove the tanker without offloading the propane beforehand.

While the tanker remained overturned, all southbound lanes on the 5 Freeway and 101 near the crash were closed. The lanes were back open by 10:30 a.m.

The driver was evaluated at the scene, but his condition is unknown. A member of the Los Angeles Fire Department was also evaluated for a minor injury.
