Authorities resumed their investigation Sunday of a central Illinois truck crash that killed five people, injured five others and prompted an evacuation for hundreds of residents after a toxic chemical leak
The tanker truck, which was carrying caustic anhydrous ammonia, was drained and moved to a “secure location” for a National Transportation Safety Board investigation, authorities said late Saturday as residents were allowed to return to their homes in the Teutopolis area.“Testing has indicated that the danger from the anhydrous ammonia has dissipated," Teutopolis Assistant Fire Chief Joe Holomy said late Saturday.
Emergency crews worked overnight after the accident on Friday trying to control the plume from the leak and struggled to get near the crash site. The accident caused"a large plume, cloud of anhydrous ammonia on the roadway that caused terribly dangerous air conditions in the northeast area of Teutopolis," Kuhns said."Because of these conditions, the emergency responders had to wait. They had to mitigate the conditions before they could really get to work on it, and it was a fairly large area.”“The wind changed three or four different times on us,” said Tim McMahon, chief of the Teutopolis Fire Protection District.
“'T-Town' is a tight-knit community,” Hartke said. “Many people have sons and daughters, aunts and uncles within five or six miles of town.” “It’s terrible. It’s bad stuff if you are involved in breathing it, especially because it gets in your airways, in your lungs, and it burns,” Kuhns said.
