MIAMI (WSVN) – The roads on 27th Avenue between West Flagler Street and Southwest Second Street are closed due to a fuel spill after a gas tanker was involved in a traffic accident.

Miami Fire said the accident involving a gas tanker and a car happened around 4a.m. Wednesday. The car damaged the tanker which caused fuel to leak onto the roadway.

The tanker is carrying 9000 gallons of gas.
