Dye spill near Martinsville not harming aquatic life
A spill of 45 000 pounds of blue dye into Reed Creek near Martinsville will be filtered by water treatment plants, with Allied Chemical sending a chemist to assist. The dye traveled from Buffalo New York to a North Carolina clothing maker and was caused by a tractor trailer crash on U S 220. Police identified the driver as Gary Robert Jones 27 of McDonough New York. Reed Creek feeds the Smith River and officials say the spill poses no aquatic danger.
