The driver of the truck is a 39-year-old white male, according to police. He was taken to a nearby hospital but expected to recover.
The State Department of Environmental Quality said refined oil is heavy and sticky, which helped the spill from traveling too far, but it also made things tricky as crews tried to turn the truck over without splashing the tar-like substance on the road.
Police closed the northbound lanes of US-54 above McCombs Street while they cleared the accident.
It's still unclear how the driver lost control of the semi.
