SANTA PAULA (CBSLA.com) — A vacuum truck explosion Tuesday forced the evacuation of a neighborhood and businesses and sent several people to the hospital in Ventura County.
Approximately 1,000 gallons of an organic peroxide exploded from the truck at 3:46 a.m. at the Santa Clara Waste Water Company, 815 Mission Rock Road, in Santa Paula, the Ventura County Fire Department said.
The chemical, which is unstable and has sparked spontaneous explosions, spread across a 300 to 400-foot radius.
