A tractor-trailer carrying a potentially hazardous material overturned

.....State Police at Kirkwood said the truck was carrying at least 39,000 pounds of sodium hydrosulfite in a powdered form. Sodium hydrosulfite is a common chemical used in manufacturing. The chemical in its dry form is often used as a bleaching agent in the production of paper and textiles.

At least one of the steel transport containers was broken, and an unknown quantity of the material spilled into the median, state police said. .......

.....There were no injuries or evacuations, state police said. Twenty-one-year-old Ballcov Singh of Ontario, Canada, was operating the truck for Ontario Inc. of Mississauga, Ontario, police said. No charges were filed. The investigation is continuing, they said

Koa radio at Denver, 7pm also had a bad truck accident that closed the freeway.

I missed part of the report, and left the station, GunnyBob is doing a program on taxes.

What I heard was "mini van hit truck, then the fire started and the road was closed".

I couldn't open your link with my computer.
