Interstate Closed in North Carolina After Truck Carrying Radioactive Uranium Crashes
A vehicle accident caused significant closures along Interstate 95 in North Carolina on Wednesday, after a truck crashed near the roadway’s Exit 58 around 11:30 a.m., eastern time, according to local reports.

Part of the truck’s cargo—four 1,000-gallon receptacles carrying uranium hexafluoride—was displaced from the vehicle during the crash. WRAL, an NBC-affiliated news station licensed to Raleigh, reported that two of the four gallons were dislodged from the truck as a result of the incident.
