BRC was notified by Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) dispatch at 1036 EDT on 03/18/2025 that an FHP trooper was on the scene of a multi-vehicle accident involving a pickup truck transporting a soil moisture density gauge.

A BRC inspector responded to the scene and confirmed the gauge and case were both intact and secure, with no apparent damage. No injuries were reported to the driver of the truck. Radiation readings of the gauge were normal, and a swipe survey revealed no leakage. The gauge was released to the owner.
