Emergency crews were called in after a spilled barrel of hydrochloric
acid leaked hazardous materials into a Minneapolis storm sewer.
Emergency crews responded Wednesday morning to a 911 call about the spill.
The call came after a 55-gallon drum of hydrochloric acid fell off of a truck and ruptured, said police. The spill happened at Minnesota Metal Finishing, located at 909 Winter St. N.E.
Hazardous materials crews were able to contain the spill, but not before some of the acid reached the storm sewer.
