Just before 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, a Hazardous Waste day at the Owen Sound Public Works yard was the scene of a chemical spill.

A chemical had been spilled in the trunk of a car, and gassing of the unknown substance was a concern.

The response resulted in a significant response, and the recovered chemical will be transported off site later today.

The driver of the car was taken to a hospital for observation as a precaution.

No other injuries were reported.
