CHICAGO (WLS) -- A semi-tanker truck rolled off of the Bishop Ford expressway and down a steep embankment shortly after 2 a.m. Wednesday.
The truck, that was traveling north on Interstate 94, collided with a car near 103rd Street, causing the tanker to separate from the cab. The cab was hanging off a bridge, and the tanker landed on a ramp below.

The load carried by the truck was dry. It was contained, but officials have been working to clear the area.
