Since i last saw you, that hazmat crew has arrived and they have unloaded many of the chemicals from the back of that pickup truck into their own vehicle. This is just the first step in getting the exit ramp from northbound 880 on to mission boulevard back open for this morning commute. Its obviously a very important road for people heading to work this morning. This all happened just before 1 00 this morning. The f150 pickup truck crashed into the sand barrels, separating the exit ramp with 880. Pool chemicals ended up spilling out, including what they think could be sulfuric acid. Biggest concern is they could mix and that would be bad for everyone out here. Now they dont believe any spilled into the drain or waterways. The driver was not hurt but he was arrested on suspicion of dui. Once they get these pool chemicals cleaned up out of that truck and away from the scene, then theyll have to call in the tow truck, get that truck towed away, and then hopefully people will be able to us
