Motorists and Residents Warned to Stay Indoors
A train and bus have collided in Encinitas in the area of Chesterfield Drive and
Highway 101 spilling 50 gallons of a substance believed to be arsenic according to on
scene hazardous materials personnel. Residents in the immediate area are being
asked to stay indoors, turn off air conditioners or any device that brings outside air
inside, and close doors and windows to avoid exposure. First responders are in the
area to contain the spill and are turning residents away from the area. Anyone who
believes they were exposed to the chemical is asked to go to Qualcomm Stadium for
decontamination.
Additionally, the San Diego Sheriff’s Department is asking residents to avoid any
unnecessary driving in the County as there are numerous traffic collisions and traffic
gridlock in the region. If it is necessary to drive, please use extra caution near railroad
crossings and major intersections as traffic signals may not be operational due to the
outage.
Only call 911 in the event of a life-threatening emergency.
