Is it depleted? I can not see it being fissible material.

Uranium in itself is only weakly radioactive. This should be a complete non-story.

it's probably in some sort of bomb proof container; and it's not that much by volume anyway- a hair over 5 cubic feet (uranium is extremely dense)

Authorities seal off the area...but say that it isn't harmful. Why such protective measures if there is no harm?

One of two people in the truck suffered minor injuries, and no other vehicles were involved, he said. "There's no threat to the public," Clendenin said. "It's a low grade uranium."
Nothing to see here.

It's probably Uranium hexafluoride. The Nuclear Fuels division of GE has a facility in Wilmington, NC. Tri State Motor Transit (TSMT) carries most of this material. The UF6 is transported inside several nested containers. There is little or no danger to the public. Definitely not useful for a bomb and in no danger of exploding.
This is all just a guess on my part but I'll bet I'm pretty close.

Highway Patrol spokesman Lt. Everett Clendenin said the truck was carrying Type A radioactive material.

Interesting that a gazillion rules are in place to ship all kinds of radioactive materials, but we won't take two seconds to secure our borders, enforce our immigration laws and possibly find out who ultimately may be driving these vehicles....there is a real disconnect here.
