CHEMICALS SPILLED

About 50 gallons of diluted weed killer which leaked into a storm drain Saturday morning was cleaned up by the company that owned the truck.

A fire department spokesman said a Chemlawn truck leaked the chemicals while it was parked in the 1800 block of Duke of York Quay. Hazardous-materials experts inspected the spill to ensure it would not pose threats to the health or safety of residents.
