A semi-truck overturned Thursday morning in Wichita, prompting a response from hazardous materials crews.
It happened shortly before 10 a.m. on N. Meridian at the Highway K-96/I-235 junction. The semi-tanker overturned on north-bound Meridian near the I-235 on-ramp.
The tanker was leaking fuel; crews are working to stop the leak and clean up the fuel spill. A 'shelter-in-place' alert was sent to residents in the area while crews are working.
Residents who live between 37th Street North to I-235, from Meridian to Athenian, were asked to shelter-in-place. Traffic on Meridian was also closed between I-235 and 37th Street North.
The off-ramp from I-235 to Meridian was also closed until the situation is deemed under control and the accident has been cleared.
There's one victim in this accident with serious injuries.
