Hazardous Materials Investigation; INC#0385; 10:00AM; 13450 W Osborne St; https://bit.ly/3nb45zR; Arleta; A collision between a passenger vehicle and pick-up truck belonging a pest control firm, led to the ejection and spill of insecticide cargo (5 lbs. Boric Acid powder & 1 gallon Bifen liquid) from the truck into the parking lot and gutter near a convenience store. LAFD HazMat experts have deemed the situation static, with no on-site escalation or specific off-site hazard identified. There are presently no injuries or illness specific to the now isolated spill. One person (undetermined age / gender / condition / affiliation / circumstances) who as involved in the collision was taken to an area hospital for non-life threatening injury solely related to the collision. Though there was no need for formal evacuation, LAFD has cordoned off and removed occupants from the convenience store and parking lot, until the store (which serves food) and vicinity can be confirmed free of contamination by health officials. Until the products are cleaned up by a private firm (dispatched by the pest control company, no ETA) the entire intersection of Osborne Street and Aleta Avenue will remain closed to all vehicle and pedestrian traffic. Motorists and others are asked to avoid the immediate area until cleaning operations are complete.

LAFD + VCFD crews worked together with power tools to free the men, who despite the brief entrapment, sustained only minimal injury thanks to seat belt use. Both men slowly ascended the hillside with Firefighter guidance by grasping the rope. Upon roadside evaluation by LAFD Paramedics, one of the men declined further treatment or transportation, while the other has been taken by LAFD ambulance in fair condition to an area hospital for further assessment. There were no other injuries.
