I am glad the powers that be are doing something un-pc like, too. Finally.
Chemical fire shuts turnpike east of Harrisburg
(Wed, Oct/06/2004)
MOUNT GRETNA, Pa. - A truck fire involving toxic chemicals shut down 19 miles of the Pennsylvania Turnpike in both directions and forced evacuations in central Pennsylvania on Wednesday morning.
State police said the driver of a double-trailer truck pulled over at about 3:30 a.m. between the Harrisburg East and Lancaster-Lebanon exits for an apparent brake fire, which spread to one of the trailers.
Homes in the immediate area and a nearby recreational-vehicle park were evacuated while the fire was allowed to burn itself out, said state police Cpl. Erin Magee. The burning chemicals included potassium cyanide and epichlorohydin, and a hazardous-materials team would have to clean up the site once the fire burned out, he said.
Police could not say when the highway would reopen.
A motorist who passed by the accident scene was hospitalized with symptoms that included burning eyes, Magee said.
Magee said the truck was apparently in the eastbound lanes at mile marker No. 264, just south of Mount Gretna.
The incident diverted turnpike traffic onto nearby roads, snarling the morning commute for many in the Harrisburg area.
