Around 6:30 this morning a package fell at a UPS facility in Summerville, spilling a white substance and raising fears that it could be toxic.
The facility and neighboring road has been closed.
A lot of folks are reporting on this, if I had to pick one report, I'd suggest the one at Live 5 News. See "more coverage" below for more reports.
