A fuel truck overturned on Commerce Road in South Richmond on Tuesday morning, closing the ramps to Interstate 95 for several hours.

The truck, which had just picked up fuel at a nearby fuel depot, overturned while trying to turn right from Commerce Road onto the ramp for northbound I-95. The truck came to a stop on the barrier in the middle of the road, blocking lanes in both directions.

Richmond fire officials said the vehicle was carrying 5,500 gallons of gasoline and 2,000 gallons of diesel fuel.

The driver didn’t appear to be injured but was taken to VCU Medical Center to be checked out. There were no other vehicles involved.
