Toxic Avenger Strikes AGAIN!
It seems as though our local roadways are becoming a battle-field again.
- A hazardous-chemical leak from a truck closed the lower end of I-476, the Blue Route, for much of the afternoon yesterday - the second consecutive day a truck mishap snarled regional traffic.
No injuries were reported, but while the liquid was being cleaned up, the highway was closed in both directions from Exit 3, Baltimore Pike, to I-95 from about noon to 3 p.m., when northbound lanes opened.
The southbound lanes remained closed until near the start of the evening rush.
- Frank Brady, 64, a driver for Church's Auto Parts in Springfield, Delaware County, was stuck in late-afternoon traffic he called "real bad."
"What's normally a 10-minute ride will take you 30 minutes," Brady said. "It's a mess, but I'm on the clock."
