DEARBORN, Mich. – The stretch of eastbound Interstate 94 in Dearborn which was the site of Wednesday's tanker fire is not expected to reopen until at least Sunday night.
The tanker exploded after a crash on the eastbound lanes near the Wyoming Avenue exit. Only minor injuries were reported. The roadway was badly damaged.

They hope to have the stretch open by Sunday night or Monday morning.
The crash remains under investigation.
Michigan State Police say the problem is the tanker driver has one story, the driver of the car has another story, and the evidence tells a different story.
Because the cars involved were burned to a crisp, it may be weeks before we know how this part of the story ends.
