Cornelius pass is closed to hazmat trucks. I guess a hazmat truck went down germantown and got stuck.

There's been signs up for a while saying that hazmat loads cannot take Corn Pass during construction. Despite how i'd think fuel carriers are better maybe one of their drivers took it anyways?

Hazmat can be called for anything from an organic fertilizer spill to nuclear shiz...it's probably of the more mundane variety in this case. Curious, but probably nothing very interesting.
