A wreck, that resulted in a hazardous spill on Hwy. 53 East, near the Etowah River, closed the road for four hours in both directions last Friday evening. Chief Tim Satterfield with Dawson County Emergency Services said that a container slid off the back of a trailer around 4 p.m. July 14. Another vehicle hit the 250-gallon plastic container, which was filled with arsenic-based pesticide.
