ALTON - Alton Police and Fire Departments responded to a two-vehicle crash around 9 a.m. Tuesday near the Clark Bridge on Landmarks Boulevard in Alton.

A fertilizer truck and another vehicle collided in the accident. There was some fertilizer spilled on the road and certain protocols had to be taken to ensure safety, the fire department said.
