Arizona officials confirmed Wednesday morning that a shelter-in-place that was issued a day before was reinstated after a crash that resulted in a spill of hazardous chemicals—coming days after a train derailed and released toxic materials in Ohio.
“Unified Command has reinstated the shelter-in-place order for a one-mile perimeter around the incident. While crews were attempting to remove the load from the commercial vehicle, gassing occurred. Interstate 10 remains closed in both directions between Kolb & Rita roads in Tucson,” the Arizona Department of Public Safety wrote on Wednesday in an update.
