A major northwest Atlanta intersection reopened early Tuesday, 12 hours after a gasoline tanker truck overturned.

An overturned tanker carrying 7,400 gallons of gas tipped over a little after 6:30 p.m. Monday at the intersection of Fulton Industrial Boulevard and Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway in northwest Atlanta, causing limited spillage, said Chris Wessels, an assistant chief with Atlanta Fire and Rescue.

The intersection was closed through the night as crews worked to clean up the spill and offload the remaining gas from the overturned truck. It reopened around 6:30 a.m.

No one was injured.
