UPDATE
Two semi-trucks - one carrying hydrochloric acid and the other transporting natural gas - collided early Tuesday in Weld County.
The driver of the acid truck was cited for failing to yield the right of way when proceeding through a stop sign, the Colorado State Patrol.
His vehicle overturned into an irrigation ditch and the acid began leaking.
"Colorado State Patrol HAZMAT units were called to the scene, as well as the Eaton Fire Department for the leak," the patrol said. "It was determined an outer pipe had been split, and units were able to contain the hydrochloric acid."
No one was hurt in the wreck at Weld County Road 66 and Weld County Road 43, northeast of Greeley.
