A commercial vehicle carrying pesticide rolled over at a busy intersection in south Marion County this morning, causing delays as emergency responders worked to clear the area.
The Marion County Fire Rescue responded to reports of a commercial vehicle rollover at the intersection of SE 92nd Loop and U.S. Highway 441 on Wednesday morning at around 8:16 a.m.
At the time, multiple 911 callers reported that the vehicle had been carrying pesticide that spilled onto the roadway.
Local crews arrived on the scene at approximately 8:23 am. to find the vehicle on its side. According to MCFR, the occupants had “self extricated” from the vehicle before firefighters arrived.
