Vehicle crash at pool clubhouse on Naperville's southwest side creates hazmat emergency.
A vehicle crashed through a fenced-off pool chemical storage area Wednesday night at a neighborhood clubhouse in Naperville, causing a hazardous materials incident that took dozens of specially trained emergency workers to clean up.
Fire officials said the crash near the Ashwood Club clubhouse had caused a 1,000-gallon storage tank filled with sodium hypochlorite and an 80-gallon storage tank of muriatic acid to rupture and spill, creating noxious fumes. Crews were able to keep the spill from seeping into a nearby pond by creating dams and dikes, while materials that leaked into a nearby storm drain were cleaned up as well.
