All lanes going south on I-95 near NW 103rd Street in Miami-Dade County have been reopened after they were shut down on Sunday afternoon following a crash.

Video from Only in Dade captured several vehicles with heavy damage including a silver Lexus sedan and red pickup truck. A large tanker truck was also spotted on its side.

According to the Florida Highway Patrol, the red pickup and silver Lexus were involved in a crash, which then caused the Lexus to collide with a fuel tanker truck. 

Both the Lexus and fuel tanker overturned from the impact, FHP stated. All southbound lanes were then closed due to a fuel leak from the tanker.  

Traffic cameras captured the major backups around 1 p.m. and later showed the southbound lanes empty with only emergency crews cleaning up the scene.

Crews were still cleaning up the fuel and trying to flip the tanker truck back over well into Sunday night. The lanes reopened early Monday morning.

Florida Highway Patrol reported only minor injuries. NBC6 is working to get more information on the circumstances surrounding the initial crash.
