The truck overturned on Avalon Boulevard at I-10 in Milton. The accident has now been cleared, and all roads are open again.

In my experience as a farmer anhydrous is a liquid when under pressure and changes to a vapor when released into the air.
Ammonia is transported as a liquid, once it is exposed to air it turns into a gas at atmospheric pressure. Ammonia (NH3) boils off or flashes to a gas at -28 degrees
