CHESTERFIELD, Va. (WWBT) - Chesterfield Fire and EMS’s Hazmat Team responded to a crash that closed down both lanes of Hull Street Road near Fox Club Parkway on Friday morning.

“One of the vehicles involved was carrying a common piece of engineering equipment that contains a very small amount of radioactive material,” Chesterfield Fire and EMS said. “That equipment is used to test compacted soil. It was contained inside several containers, none of which appear to be damaged.”

Officials said around 10 a.m. that there is no threat to the community.

“The immediate area surrounding the crash has been isolated until Hazmat crews can assess the equipment for any damage,” Chesterfield Fire and EMS said.
