Firefighters said a semi tractor-trailer collided with the rear-end of a cube van, which was carrying five 45-gallon barrels of acetone, fire department officials said.

The collision created a significantly large debris field, but hazmat crews determined none of the barrels were leaking and there were no environmental impacts.

Officials said there were no serious injuries.
