Show Notes
New Brunswick government sets up special car wash for drivers affected by chemical spill on Vanier Highway. The spill, containing chromium, hit vehicles traveling eastbound or westbound between Fredericton and Oromocto, or on Vanier Industrial Drive, from Wednesday evening until Friday at four p.m. The free car wash, located off Alison Boulevard near the eastbound ramp to Highway seven, ran Saturday and Sunday, with long lines reported. Drivers express frustration over delayed alert, worrying about exposure and environmental runoff. Public health officials advise keeping children and pets away from residue and washing hands for fifteen minutes if contact occurred. Those who already cleaned their cars and have stains in driveways or garages should call EFI Global. The province stresses low health risks for brief contact, with no increased cancer risk from one-time exposure, and Frederictons water supply is safe. Residents hope for quicker notifications in future spills.
