Local police say a provincial ministry had to get involved following an incident that closed down the main route through Cobden.
The Renfrew OPP reports that a transport truck carrying hydrochloric acid began leaking its contents onto Highway 17 near Astrolabe Road during the late evening hours on Wednesday, August 14th.
The highway was closed between Astrolabe Road and Main Street as traffic was detoured away from the scene to allow hazmat units, local firefighters, and the Ministry of Environment to clean the spill.
