    I Tanker hauling Hydrochloric Acid flipped on its side today around 12:00 pm local time in Chicago on 294 southbound just before Cicero Ave. All southbound lanes were closed as well as 2 northbound lanes so that traffic could be turned around an sent back north. Luckly the tanker did not spill its load an last i heard they were waiting for an empty truck to come empty the loaded tanker before they could clear the wreck.

    Took me 3 hours to get through that yesterday... it was nasty. This week was a terrible time for my truck's A/C to fail on me.
