Hazardous Materials Shut Down Hwy. 152
By Emily Alpert
"A chemical spill closed Highway 152 for more than 12 hours Thursday after two tractor-trailers crashed just east of Bloomfield Avenue near Soap Lake.
A tractor-trailer lugging construction equipment collided with a second tractor-trailer vehicle carrying hazardous chemicals at 7am Thursday, spilling 10 20-pound bags of potassium nitrate onto the road.
A driver for T.C.I., a Hayward-based company, drifted onto the shoulder of the road as he traveled eastbound. Charles Campa, a witness who was driving an 18-wheeler for the Redwood Empire Lumber Company, said the T.C.I. driver hit a mailbox. Then, overcorrecting, the driver veered across the double yellow line, then back into his lane. His cab missed the oncoming vehicle - an American Trucking Company tractor-trailer carrying the chemicals - but his trailer side-swiped the other rig, knocking off its front wheel and tearing open the trailer, loaded with blue barrels filled with sulfuric acid, hydrogen peroxide and an unknown flammable liquid, and sacks filled with potassium nitrate."
