The Michigan Department of Transportation is tending to one of its highway bridges this morning after a gasoline tanker truck reportedly exploded underneath the span, causing it to collapse.
The tanker truck was headed northbound on I-75 Wednesday night when it burst into flames under the 9 Mile Road overpass at about 8 p.m. Officials did not know how the tanker truck ignited. The overpass is about 10 miles north of downtown Detroit, and part of it dropped onto I-75 as a result of the explosion.
