Police issued a shelter-in-place notice after a liquid spill forced Highway 92 to close Thrusday morning
A hazardous material spill on Highway 92 forced road closures and a shelter-in-place order Thursday in San Mateo, police said.
The spill came from a flatbed trailer carrying two 230-gallon totes of sodium bisulfate about 10:45 a.m., San Mateo Consolidated Fire Department Fire Marshall Robert Marshal said. One of the totes developed a crack and leaked the corrosive liquid — used to treat water — across all eastbound lanes, he said.
Marshal said about 3:30 p.m. that workers were waiting on CalTrans contractors to arrive for clean-up, but he didn’t expect the eastbound lanes to open until at least 11 p.m. Thursday.
