Hazardous Materials Spill After Truck Hits Several Cattle Near Akeley

AKELEY, MN - Multiple Law Enforcement Agencies responded to a large delivery type truck that struck several cattle early Wednesday morning.

According to the Minnesota State Patrol the accident occurred on Hwy 64 just 3 miles south of Akeley.

The road was closed due to this accident.

According to reports by the State Patrol the crash caused hazardous material on the load to leak onto the hwy.

Residences were evacuated around the area but we do not know how many.

The hwy was detoured onto Hubbard Co. Rd. 22 from Hwy 34, 1 West of Nevis to Hwy 64 until the hazmat crews were able to clean up the hazardous material.

We are told one person was brought to the hospital.
