Hazmat spill causes closure of I-69 after semi overturns.

TL;DR Summary
An overturned semi truck carrying "dangerous goods" shut down both directions of I-69 in Lapeer Township, Michigan. The truck was carrying a mixed load of USPS packages, other products, and 15 55-gallon drums of methoxy-propanol, a flammable solvent used in manufacturing and paint. The drums were not compromised during the crash, and there is no danger to the public. The road closure remains in effect until the contents of the semi have been offloaded and the truck is righted. No injuries were reported, and the exact cause of the crash is unknown.
