Van containing anthrax samples involved in accident

WINNIPEG - A hazardous materials team rushed to the scene when a van delivering packages to Winnipeg's virology lab was involved in an accident this morning.

The FedEx van was struck in the side by another vehicle just before 8:30 while it was travelling in the central part of the city.

The area was blocked off for about two hours as a precaution because it was not known if any of the packages had been disturbed.

Emergency services spokesman Gordon Martin says a special team determined that none of the containers had been broken.

Martin says the situation is stable and there is no biological or chemical hazard.

However, CBC Radio is reporting the lab confirms there was an anthrax sample in the van.

No one was injured in the accident.
