The tanker normally would have been carrying dairy product but was empty at the time of the crash.
The truck's fuel tanks were damaged and approximately 100 gallons of diesel fuel spilled onto the highway and onto the road below.
Only one lane was open on the highway while crews cleaned up the fuel spill and removed the truck.
The cause of the crash is unclear.
