Highway closed by chemical spill

Staff reports

A portion of U.S. 64 in Alfalfa County was closed more than six hours Friday after a semi rolled over and spilled more than 1,000 gallons of liquid herbicide.

The accident happened one-half mile west of the intersection of U.S. 64 and Oklahoma 11, northwest of Cherokee, according to an Oklahoma Highway Patrol report.

The highway was closed at 2:55 p.m., after OHP troopers responded to the accident, and the Department of Environmental Quality was notified of the spill. Environmental Management, of Guthrie, arrived to clean up the spill, but OHP reported at 7:13 p.m. the company could not remove all of the herbicide and water from the north ditch running along the highway.

Workers did clean the highway, which was reopened at 9:10 p.m., according to OHP. Oklahoma Department of Transportation workers placed cones in the north ditch, and Environmental Management workers will return this morning to clean up the ditch.

No one was injured in the accident, according to OHP.
