The crash happened on State Road 267 near U.S. 36 in Avon. A tanker truck loaded with jet fuel was waiting for a slow-moving train at a crossing. The driver attempted to turn his truck around to avoid the wait and flipped his truck in the process.
The tanker contains 8,000 gallons of jet fuel, and officials say about 50 gallons was spilled. The leak has been stopped, and crews are working on clean up. Once the spilled fuel is removed, the tanker will be unloaded and the semi removed from the scene.

Yeah, I was in that mess, the train was not moving
, they had a guy out there with a sign saying the train would be stopped for 45 min (during rush hour
) the driver thought he could turn around but NOPE he couldn't. The initial word was that all 8000 gallons had spilled.
