Niagara OPP have sent out a situational video within the hour (above) saying that the hazardous material known as phosphine is contained within the transport truck that tangled with a median fence and rolled on the Queen Elizabeth Way Tuesday afternoon. Hazmat personnel on assessing the removal of the poisonous, flammable material and part of St.Catharines has been evacuated. The crash happened around 3 p.m. along the Fort Erie bound QEW at Martindale Road when a tractor-trailer flipped onto the centre median guard rail. There was a fire at the time of  the rollover but it was quickly extinguished. A fire broke out as a result of the rollover, Ontario Provincial Police Sgt. Kerry Schmidt told CP24. It was feared the phosphine had leaked. Phosphine is a flammable fumigant and forms a clear colourless gas in its natural state. It is classified as “very toxic” and when inhaled, causes cell damage in lungs and affects the nervous system.
