Follow Up: River Road Incident
Yesterday, STJFD and response partners responded to a large box truck that had overturned on River Road. The vehicle was transporting hydrochloric acid, commonly known as muriatic acid, in plastic containers. Several of the containers were compromised; however, the released material remained contained within the vehicle.
Responding personnel notified the South Carolina Department of Public Health and conducted air and ground monitoring in the area surrounding the vehicle.
A specialized cleanup contractor was contacted and responded to the scene to safely remove and manage the hazardous material. Following cleanup operations, the vehicle was uprighted and removed from the scene.
There were no reported injuries associated with the incident.
