There were two hazmat situations Sunday on Interstate 80 in eastern Nevada. The first was near Emigrant Pass in Eureka County about 20 miles west of Carlin involving two tractor-trailer rigs. One rig hit the back of tractor-trailer with sulfuric acid and breached the tank, causing a spill on the road. Both drivers were taken for medical treatment as a precautionary measure. Then, at about 12:13 p.m. on Sunday, a trailer lost lime powder about 20 miles east of the Elko County border. Only the exit was closed as the lime was washed off the road and the ramp was reopened by 3 p.m.
