“Fire crews are here taking every precaution to ensure the safety of everyone in the area,” said Const. Jeff Hare. “Because of the hazardous material this could have been a lot more serious.”

The driver of the transport received serious injuries while both occupants of the SUV were also sent to hospital, one of them reported to be critical.
