Cement truck mishap bathes worksite in concrete dust

CHARLESTOWN, Mass. — A cement spill caused a large dust cloud at a worksite on Terminal Street in Charlestown on Friday morning.

The power was splashed across the ground and several cars.

We're told no one was injured, but it triggered a Hazardous Materials response nonetheless.

The Boston Fire Department said a cement truck was accidentally overfilled due to a mechanical issue around 9 a.m. Friday.

Firefighters were conducting air quality tests in the area to ensure the cement dust wasn't spreading and causing problems.
