Part of Creedmoor Road in Raleigh has reopened after it was shut down Tuesday night when a tanker carrying liquid asphalt crashed and flipped over, according to officials. First responders first received the call regarding the overturned liquid asphalt tanker just before 10:50 p.m. Around 15 firefighters responded to the scene. The main crew left by 2 a.m. but four to eight, including a hazmat crew, stayed on scene, Raleigh fire officials said.
According to officials, the crash was considered a hazmat situation because liquid asphalt spilled onto Creedmoor Road.
