A suspicious and unknown substance on the roadway of County Road (CR) 10 and another related site on 125th Ave. NW in McKenzie County prompted numerous calls to officials on Jan. 17. Local officials responded to the site and quickly took action to contain and minimize the impact of the chemical.
“There was a spill on CR10. It stunk worse than a pig farm, I mean it just burned your nose,” said McKenzie County Emergency Manager Karolin Jappe. “After being out there, when my road foreman parked his truck in the shop, and a semi that had been out on that road came in and parked in the shop, well, the next morning when the shop guys came in, they couldn’t even breathe, it was so bad.”
