William Curtis Roberts has been on the run for five days after authorities say he lost Kerrville police in a chase, then stole a dump truck and escaped again.
North Carolina State Highway Patrol. The highway patrol said the truck collided with a passenger van along the I-95 in Cumberland County late in the morning.
No injuries were reported but two of the truck’s four 1,000-gallon containers of uranium hexafluoride fell on the ground as the southbound semi-trailer overturned. None of the material leaked and the cleanup was not hazardous, the
North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) said.
“We are proceeding to get equipment in place to right-side the tractor-trailer, then haul it away, off the interstate and reopen it,” the department added.
Uranium hexafluoride is commonly used to make fuel for nuclear power plants and is said to present minimal risk during traffic accidents. However, it can react with water and moisture to form highly corrosive chemicals.
