Kansas Turnpike closed after semi crash in east Wichita

The Kansas Turnpike was closed in both directions Thursday evening after a semi crashed at a location in east Wichita.

The crash was reported near mile marker 51, close to 127th Street East, around 5 p.m.  The semi was straddling the median, blocking traffic in both directions.  Officials were concerned about a leak of anhydrous ammonia from the tanker truck.    Traffic on the turnpike was closed between Kellogg and 127th Street East.

Officials were talking to the driver, and there was no indication that he was seriously hurt.
