MINFORD, Ohio (WSAZ) -- A portion of State Route 335 just south of Minford, Ohio, is now back open to traffic.

A semi-truck turned over on the road, right at the Dixon Mill Road intersection.

Route 335 was shut down several hours due to the cleanup.

Dispatch says the truck was carrying some sort of chemical.

Emergency crews say the leak was minimal and did not pose a threat to the community.

Route 335 reopened around 1am Monday.

@Olivia, if you are so worried that something harmful has been hidden from you. Why don't you go down and Investigate for yourself. Do you know that Orange Juice is a Hazardous Material? As is hairspray, and many other everyday use items. Come on if it was that dangerous the road would have been closed much longer. You need to not be so quick to induce panic on yourself, your family, or your neighbors.

So what chemical was spilled? If it really was as harmless as the EPA and Hazmat is leading us to believe why won't the tell us? As someone who lives very close to the area where the chemical spill was, I deserve to know what I've been exposed to.
