Phoenix Fire Department says a car hit the side of the tanker, which was carrying 9,000 gallons of unleaded fuel.
The collision caused a nearly two-foot gash in the side of the tank, resulting in a significant amount of fuel spilled in the street.
Fire personnel are actively trying to stop the gas from getting into the sewer.
There are no evacuations as of now, the road will be closed for a while and it is advised to avoid the area.
