A serious semi-truck crash in Dakota County, Nebraska sent one driver to the hospital and triggered a HazMat response after fuel and pesticides spilled near Highway 77. According to KTIV, first responders were called around 7 a.m. on August 11 to the Kingsbury Interchange at Highway 20 and Highway 77. Officials said a commercial agricultural aircraft support vehicle rolled while attempting to take Highway 77 northbound to Highway 20 westbound. The driver was assisted out of the vehicle by a Dakota County Sheriff’s Office deputy and was taken to a Sioux City hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. Officials said the vehicle was carrying hazardous materials, including about 500 gallons of aviation fuel and multiple boxes of agricultural pesticide.
