DAPHNE — A pest control truck on Thursday overturned on County Road 64, just east of County Road 13, spilling an unknown chemicals on the road, according to officials.

The small-transfer truck — operated by Pensacola, Fla.-based Killingsworth Pest Control — was heading eastbound on County Road 64 when the accident occurred at 11:08 a.m.

“The driver just ran off the road and overcorrected,” Lawrence Alley, assistant chief of the Belforest Volunteer Fire Department, said.

The truck landed on the driver’s side of the vehicle.

The unknown driver was taken to Thomas Hospital.

Officials detoured traffic through the Chamberlain Trace subdivision.

One of the drums the truck had carried, containing an unknown pesticide, went through the vehicle roof and rested about 100 feet away, Alley said.

The truck contained two drums of liquid, each able to hold about 400 gallons, according to Alley.

However, at the time of the accident, only 60 gallons were in the drums that spilled onto the road, Alley said.

The Belforest fire department responded within four minutes of receiving the call, Alley said.

A hazardous material team also responded to the call because officials had to treat the spill as a dangerous liquid, according to Alley.

Hazmat officials declared the liquid as not hazardous to people, and workers started cleanup, according to Alley.

Workers used oil-dry material and sand to soak up the liquid, Alley said.

From there, it will go to a hazardous waste dump, Alley said.

About 25 people Thursday were working to clear the scene in shifts because of the heat, Alley said.

Twelve heat-related deaths have been reported in Alabama since Aug. 1, according to the Alabama Department of Public Health.

Heat-related deaths have been reported in these Alabama counties this month: Autauga, Chilton, Coffee, Elmore, Greene, Henry, Montgomery and Morgan, according to the ADPH.
