Workers Evacuated at Factory After Crash
About 60 employees were evacuated from an Anaheim factory for nearly three hours Thursday after a truck driver delivering a liquid processing agent rammed a storage tank and several drums spilled potentially toxic chemicals.
Authorities attributed the crash to a “medical emergency” for which the driver was taken to a hospital for observation.
The incident occurred about 1 p.m. at Firmenich, a dry-flavoring maker, in the 400 block of South Atchison Street. A hazardous-materials team removed the spilled materials, and there were no other injuries, the fire department said.
