Five people were killed and five others seriously injured in Illinois when a truck carrying a toxic substance crashed.
Jennifer Gabris, a spokeswoman for the National Transportation Safety Board, said the agency is investigating the incident that occurred near Teutopolis. “We have a lot of brave firemen, EMT, hazmat specialists, police officers that are working on this scene as we speak,” Effingham County Sheriff Paul Kuhns told reporters.
“The wind changed three or four different times on us,” said Tim McMahon, chief of the Teutopolis Fire Protection District. “That’s another reason we got crews out in different places, reporting back on which way the wind’s going.”
