ARVADA - A semi-truck carrying hazardous materials spilled in the 12100 block of West 44th Avenue in Wheat Ridge at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday.
According to a 911 call, the trailer was leaking an unknown liquid onto the road and that liquid was foaming on contact. The truck had a marking on it suggesting to the caller that it contained corrosives.
Authorities say the materials ended up not being hazardous to people.
The liquid that leaked is believed to be a product that is used in ranching and not a community health hazard. There were no injuries due to the leak.
Environmental cleanup is being conducted, and the unaffected products are being loaded onto another trailer.
