A man was hospitalized Wednesday after his tanker overturned on an Interstate Highway 55 ramp near Lemont and his load of gasoline ignited and sent flames shooting into the air for hours, state police said.
Fire officials let the fire burn for almost three hours before they finally extinguished it using foam provided by the Chicago Fire Department.
