A fuel tanker crashed and burned at one of Alabama's busiest highway interchanges during morning rush hour today. The fiery wreck partially melted a bridge and could result in months of traffic problems while the overpass is demolished and replaced. The wreck -- which occurred at the intersection of Interstates 20/59 and 65 -- was the second such crash at "malfunction junction" since January 2002. Authorities said a tanker carrying fuel overturned in a curve about 7 a.m., spilling an estimated 9,000 gallons of fuel that erupted into flames and sent a huge column of black smoke skyward.
