Two lanes on Interstate 93 were temporarily closed this morning in Somerville because of a small fuel spill from a two-vehicle crash, state officials said.

A box truck and car collided just after 8:30 a.m. near Exit 28. The truck hit the median and spilled its fuel, said David Procopio, director of media communications for the State Police.

The driver of the car was taken to a local hospital with what police described as non-life-threatening injuries. The condition of the truck driver was not immediately available.

The wreck closed the left northbound lane and southbound carpool lane. Additional information was not released.
