Two tankers carrying thousands of gallons of fuel have exploded on an I-75 overpass near Hazel Park in Michigan, reportedly resulting in the collapse of the bridge and the deaths of two individuals.
The incident occurred at approximately 8:30 PM local time, 9:30 PM ET.
Three miles of I-75 have been shut down while fire crews battle the massive blaze, which local reports indicate reaches over 150 feet into the air.
WDIV-TV reports that at least two people have been killed as a result of the incident, but that figure has yet to be confirmed by authorities.
