Friday (10/23/15) just before noon, a semi-tanker rolled over on the US 41 northbound off-ramp to Lineville Road in Suamico, Wisconsin. The tanker was carrying diesel fuel. Officials say it looks like the tanker was exiting from US 41 when it rolled over while trying to go through the roundabout at the top of the off ramp.
