EAST FALLS (WPVI) -- All lanes are back open on the southbound Roosevelt Boulevard after a crash involving a gasoline tanker and a sedan.

The accident happened in foggy conditions at 6:30 a.m. Thursday in the southbound lanes past the Fox Street exit.

Images from the Action Cam at the scene showed a Sunoco gasoline tanker truck which appeared to have collided with a dark-colored Nissan Altima.

No serious injuries were reported from the crash, which shut down all southbound lanes for at least half an hour.

The accident caused major traffic delays through much of the morning, with the southbound backup extending back to Langdon Street.

The accident scene was finally cleared and all lanes re-opened by 8:30 a.m.
