Authorities reopened Kapaa Quarry Road near Mokapu Saddle Road tonight after it was closed due to an acid spill. 

Honolulu Fire Department Capt. David Jenkins said a truck driver transporting a load of swimming pool chemicals on a flatbed truck lost a pallet of muriatic acid about 3:30 p.m. The pallet contained 24 1-gallon jugs of the acid, and 8 gallons spilled on the road. 

Firefighters contained the spill about 15 minutes later and were cleaning and evaluating the hazard about 4:45 p.m., Jenkins said. 

The state Department of Health has been notified. No injuries were reported.
