An overturned propane truck temporarily blocked traffic for two hours this morning just east of Greenwood in Delaware

The Pep-Up propane truck was traveling westbound on Beach Highway just west of Hunters Cove Road when it drove off the road.

Lanes in the area of Beach Highway were closed in both directions as the hazmat teams from the Delaware Transportation Department and the company contain the diesel fuel.

There are no reports of leaks from the propane tanks.

Police are still trying to figure out the cause of the accident.
