Fire, HazMat teams respond to semi crash
At about 4:30 p.m. Friday afternoon, the eastbound onramp in Superior to Interstate 90 at Exit 47 became blocked when a tractor trailer carrying a variety of materials overturned where many trucks have accidents after a stop to fuel up. “Trimethylbenzene is the most worrisome because it is highly flammable, highly explosive and self-combustible,” said Incident Commander, Steve Temple with the Superior Volunteer Fire Department.
