A tanker truck loaded with 7,500 gallons of jet fuel overturned and burned on eastbound I-10 near eastbound state Highway 62 during the morning commute Tuesday, stranding thousands of cars on one of the southwestern United States' main east-west traffic arteries.

"I could feel the heat on my windshield as I drove past the overpass," said Lori Medina, an advertising account executive at The Desert Sun.

There were no significant injuries but the tanker was a complete loss, a family moving in a U-Haul lost all their possessions to fire and the freeway was closed in both directions for more than three hours.
