EAST LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- A tanker turned over on its side and began spilling antifreeze on the southbound side of the 710 Freeway in East Los Angeles, prompting southbound lanes to be closed early Thursday morning.

The incident occurred at about 1:45 a.m. The tanker began spilling antifreeze, and crews arrived at the scene to clear the road.

Traffic was diverted to the 5 Freeway in the meantime.

It is unclear how long the closure will last or if anyone was hurt in the crash.
