A deadly crash and nitric acid spill on Interstate 10 on Tuesday will impact traffic Wednesday morning and is forcing nearby Vail Schools to push back start times.
Arizona Daily Star A deadly crash on Interstate 10 on Tucson's southeast side that caused a nitric acid spill on Tuesday is expected to continue to snarl traffic Wednesday morning, officials said.
According to DPS, the commercial truck was hauling liquid nitric acid in a box trailer when it rolled over on I-10 east around 2:45 p.m. The driver was killed.Soon after the crash, an emergency alert was issued that told people within one mile of the wreck to shelter in place. The affected area was loosely bound by Kolb and Houghton roads between Valencia and Voyager roads.
"We are being told that clean-up is expected to take until roughly 8 a.m. tomorrow morning," Vail Superintendent John Carruth said."DPS is already warning of disruptions to morning commutes in our area." Despite the late start, school dismissal times will remain the same, afterschool activities will be held and bus routes will run as scheduled, Carruth said.
