EARLIER STORY: A tractor-trailer was left in a precarious position after a crash on Interstate 95 southbound at Congress Avenue Thursday morning in Boca Raton.

The wreck, reported at 4:17 a.m., closed the exit and entrance ramps both north and south while crews worked to move the semi. 

The Florida Highway Patrol said no one was hurt in the crash, but the truck's fuel tanks may have been compromised during the wreck.

The semi was hauling cabinets.

Drivers should use Linton Boulevard or Yamato Road as alternate routes.

At 8:30 a.m., two tow trucks are at the scene to remove the semi.

Tri-Rail delays up to an hour are occurring southbound. 

A Tri-Rail bus bridge is running from Delray Beach northbound to Boca Raton southbound Tri-Rail stations.
