A semi truck is leaking fuel Thursday after a rollover crash in South Side Ashburn.

The truck hit a viaduct and rolled over about 6:30 a.m. in the 3100 block of West 79th Street, according to Chicago police.

No one was injured in the crash, but it did result in a fuel leakage, police said. 79th Street remains closed in both directions as emergency crews wait for a tow truck.

Metra SouthWest Service trains were temporarily halted while crews inspected the bridge carrying tracks over the crash scene, Metra said in a service alert. Train movement resumed with “extensive” delays by 8:22 a.m.

No. 79 79th Street and No. 169 69th UPS-Express buses have been rerouted via Kedzie Avenue, 83rd Street and Western Avenue, the CTA said.
