LONDON – Super spicy chili sauce sparked road closures and evacuations in central London after passers-by complained that a chemical emanating from a Thai restaurant was burning their throats, police said Wednesday.

Reports of a strong smell wafting from a restaurant in the heart of London’s bustling Soho district Monday prompted the London Fire Brigade to send a chemical response team, a Metropolitan Police spokesman said.

Firefighters closed off roads, sealed buildings and donned special breathing masks to ferret out the source of the acrid smell as onlookers coughed, the Times of London reported.

Nevada woman gives birth to boy on freeway offramp

RENO, Nev. – Carla Dupree says God is trying to tell her that five kids is enough. That’s after No. 5 was born at a freeway offramp.

Dupree, 29, said her mother-in-law was driving her from Sparks to a Reno hospital on Saturday when Jayden Dupree took things into his own hands.

“I had him on the freeway,” she said. “This is the last one. God is telling me something.”

Dupree had been in the car for about six minutes before they had to pull over just outside the Vista Boulevard exit on Interstate 80.

Jayden, who was due Oct. 19, weighed in at 6 pounds, 7 ounces.
