One patient was taken to the nearest hospital, and no further information was readily available about their condition. Although there was no health threat to the general public, motorists were asked to steer clear of the area as emergency response teams assessed the situation and cleaned up the mess.

There was no health threat to the general public. However, the public was asked to stay away from the area. The eastbound lanes of traffic were not affected.
