Tanker carrying 7,500 gallons of diesel fuel crashes in South Baltimore

A tanker truck carrying 7,500 gallons of diesel fuel crashed in South Baltimore early Friday morning.

The truck appeared to have hit two parked vehicles on South Hanover Street near Washburn Avenue before stopping on a sidewalk around 2:30 a.m.

No injuries were reported and it's not clear yet what caused the crash.

Authorities said about 20 gallons of fuel spilled out and the block was shut down overnight. The Baltimore City Fire Department and Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) were called in and a crew was able to contain the spill.

The fuel was moved into another tanker truck. The damaged truck was prepared to be towed away.

It belongs to Power Transportation Systems, a freight carrier based in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
