Hamilton chemical spill causes injuries, evacuation
The Cincinnati Enquirer
HAMILTON - More than a dozen people were taken to Fort Hamilton Hospital on Wednesday after a chemical spill in the 1300 block of Franklin Street about 9 p.m.
Their conditions were not released.
Some residents of Franklin Street were evacuated, and residents in an eight-block area were warned to stay in their homes and turn off air conditioners.
The spill apparently came from the trunk of a car, and hazmat teams were preparing to determine the nature of the spill. The car may have been used as a portable lab to manufacture methamphetamine, police said.
Residents complained of burning eyes and difficulty breathing.
Franklin Street was blocked off, and onlookers were kept far from the scene.
