Ammonium Nitrate Rig Flip in Morgan County | Jefferson City News
Description
A big rig hauling nearly 40,000 pounds of ammonium nitrate flipped over in Morgan County, sparking a full hazmat response—but no one was hurt and no chemical leaked. The driver took a wrong turn onto Lake Trail Lane, prompting crews to evacuate three nearby homes. Using drones and hands-on inspections, the Cole County hazmat team confirmed the load was secure. After a day-long recovery effort involving transferring the cargo and lifting the truck, all road closures were lifted. A tense situation resolved safely—with zero injuries, environmental impact, or public risk.
