Four people, including two police officers, are recovering from a hazardous material situation.
The incident occurred Sunday night on Old Post Road in Charlestown.
A woman called 911 saying she became exposed to a material after she had struck a large glass container with the unknown material that was located in her driveway when she was attempting to leave her residence.
Charlestown police, fire and EMS units were dispatched to the scene.
“This whole incident was based on precaution. Not knowing what the substance was, having this unknown taste smell, and the fact that we had some sort of container in the middle of someone’s driveway. This residence does have a history with this department of having some criminal issues previously.” said Lt. Patrick McMahon of the Charlestown Fire Department.
The two people at the home and two Charlestown police officers under went a decontamination process then treated and released from South County Hospital.
The incident remains under investigation pending the results of laboratory testing being conducted by the Department of Environmental Management in order to identify the unknown substance.
