A truck hauling nitric acid crashed and spilled the hazardous material on Interstate 10 in Tucson, Arizona. The driver died sometime after the accident.

Both directions of Interstate 10 remained closed in a portion of Arizona Wednesday after a tractor-trailer's deadly rollover triggered a hazardous chemical leak incident Tuesday afternoon.
Authorities ordered a shelter-in-place for a three-mile perimeter around the incident Wednesday morning, according to the Arizona Department of Public Safety. The department lifted the shelter-in-place order Tuesday night, but reinstated it for a one-mile perimeter early Wednesday after gassing occurred as crews attempted to remove the load and later expanded the perimeter.
Those within half a mile of the crash were evacuated Tuesday and should expect to remain displaced until around midday Wednesday, public safety authorities said.

Honestly could have sworn that is an ingredient is many of the foods we eat?
It’s for fertilizer
People have no idea what those 18 wheeler are hauling just like the trains
So the truck driver was playing in it or what?
