Chemical Truck Explosion in South Carolina Restaurant Parking Lot Causes Precautionary Measures

A chemical truck carrying approximately 2,300 gallons of diphenylmethane exploded in a restaurant parking lot in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The incident occurred near a Denny's restaurant off I-26 on Reidville Road. The explosion was triggered when the chemical, used as a spray foam, reacted with water, causing it to expand and eventually explode. The truck was returning from a job when the driver noticed an issue and pulled into the parking lot. The explosion resulted in the closure of the restaurant as chemicals were found on the building and surrounding areas. Four individuals were decontaminated as a precaution, but no injuries were reported.
