The southbound lanes of I-75 had to be closed down on Sunday after a large multi-vehicle accident near the Wales Rd. exit just after 3 p.m.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol says Hugo Gutierrez, 36, of London, Ontario was driving a 1994 Peterbilt semi south on I-75 when his fuel tank became partially detached.
Several vehicles lost control and crashed after diesel fuel began spilling onto the roadway.
A total of 10 vehicles sustained damage.
OSHP says an estimated 300 gallons of fuel was lost from Mr. Gutierrez's vehicle.
Minor injuries were reported but no one had to be transported from the scene.
The southbound lanes of I-75 South had to be closed down for over three hours as crews worked to clean up the mess.
Mr. Gutierrez was cited for operating an unsafe vehicle.
The accident remains under investigation.
Another accident at the same time further south on I-75 near Buck Rd. also slowed traffic in the northbound lanes.
Several cars were seen in the median as crews worked to clear the scene.
There is no word on the cause of that accident at this time.
