GLUCKSTADT, Miss. - A FedEx driver, making a delivery to Vertex Aerospace, noticed a chemical leak coming from his truck while docking. It turned out to be a compound, called organic peroxide. An alternative school and multiple businesses here had to be evacuated after 11:30 a.m. Jan. 27, according to Madison County Emergency Management Director Albert Jones. Students at the school, about a mile away from, began complaining of sore throats, prompting additional businesses' evacuations around Industrial Drive South. Hazmat crews later began cleaning the area, Assistant Police Chief Hale Barry said. As of 3 p.m., most businesses had reponed except for Industrial Drive at Denim Way headed south to Parkway Drive. There were no serious injuries reported, but first responders attended to the students. (WLBT 01/27/23)
