Dallas, TX (WBAP/KLIF) – It’s believed that a bright red substance spotted near White Rock Creek may be a detergent used at car washes. The substance was first spotted by the Dallas Police Department helicopter unit.
The substance was draining into a ditch on the property owned by Texas Totes and Barrels, an agricultural service on Beale Street.
