HAZMAT crews were called out in Cass County Monday to handle a load of hazardous dust in a semi rollover.
The Cass County Emergency Management Agency said crews responded about 8:30 a.m. to the scene of the crash on 225 South — between 375 West and 275 West.
The semi was carrying a load of electric arc furnace dust, or EAFD. EAFD is a by-product of steelmaking and contains hazardous materials.
Plastic sheets were laid over the dust to try and prevent further spill with high winds also a concern. Fuel leaks were also a situation at the scene.
