Truck Spills Chemical Dye on Canton Center Road

Motorists may be wondering about what caused a bright yellowish stain on Canton Center Road south of Cherry Hill Road.

It's the residual effect of a spill that occurred on Tuesday, according to Canton police reports. The driver of a truck carrying a barrel of yellow/green dye concentrate stopped when he noticed the spill as he was driving on Canton Center.

Police closed the road to southbound traffic on Canton Center during the clean-up, causing minor traffic back-ups.

Upon investigation, police noticed the barrel containing the bright liquid substance was not secured during transport.

The driver was cited for spilled load and unsecured load violations, according to the police report.
