UPDATE: October 22, 9:00a.m.: The roadway has been re-opened.

A semi overturned on I-70 EB at I-670, spilling diesel fuel, and closing the roadway early Sunday morning.

Police were called to the scene just before 4:30 Sunday morning, on the single vehicle crash.

No injuries were reported.

The semi spilled diesel fuel across all lanes of the roadway, and with the wet roadway from the overnight rains, the highway was extremely slick, and shut down until haz-mat crews could clean up the spill.
