Route 24 in Fall River has been re-opened to traffic after a tractor-trailer carrying at least 11,000 gallons of gasoline flipped and burst into flames, sending the driver to the hospital and causing major delays in both directions, state police said.

Only the northbound right lane, breakdown lane and off-ramp near the Presidents Avenue exit remain closed, a state police spokesman said. The Department of Environmental Protection and Clean Harbors are on scene to address the environmental impact.

Police identified the driver as a 46-year-old woman from Danielson, Conn. She was taken to Rhode Island Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The truck, operated by J.P. Noonan Co., rolled about 7:15 a.m. and caught fire, sending plumes of thick, black smoke into the sky, state police said. Fall River firefighters responded with a foam truck, and police said residents of nearby homes were advised to evacuate their homes.

The crash remains under investigation.
