What was being transported?

Veronica writes, "I am glad to hear the driver of the semi-truck that crashed on Thursday is doing okay. I noticed it took a significant effort from emergency responders and crews to right the overturned vehicle.
I am writing because there is still a very strong odor lingering at the crash site. Could you please clarify what the truck was hauling? I am curious to know if it was fertilizer, waste from a dairy, or another substance, as the smell is quite heavy when driving past the area."
We'll post if we can find out from local officials, but if any readers already know, please use our Comment Form to let us know. Comments | Permalink
