Tractor Trailer Jackknifes in Front Yard

No injuries, but about 100 gallons of gas leaked from the tank after the accident

Chopper 10 got a pretty dramatic shot of a jackknifed tractor trailer along Red Lion Road in Northeast Philly on Tuesday.

The big rig somehow ended up in the front yard of what appears to be an apartment building in the 600 block of the road. That's near the Northeast Philadelphia Airport.

No one was injured, but crews did have to contend with a gas leak. About 100 gallons of gas spilled out of the tank. Crews tell NBC10 there's no public health threat.
