A tanker without a registration number carrying fifteen thousand litres of Automotive Gas Oil (AGO) has tumbled in Iseyin in Oyo State.
DAILY POST gathered that the incident occurred at Odo-Igba, Iseyin – Saki Road in Iseyin, on Sunday.
The tanker was said to have lost control whilst on motion, swerved off the road and fell into a nearby ditch.
The accident reportedly caused a traffic gridlock but the Chairman of Oyo State Fire Service, Maroof Akinwande, who confirmed the incident in a statement said normalcy has been restored on the road.
“It was a trailer tanker with unknown registered no loaded with 15,000litres capacity of Automotive Gas Oil (AGO), that lost control whilst on motion and swerved off the road into a nearby ditch.
The firemen quickly swung into action and applied chemical foam compound to neutralize the flammability of the content and prevented it from explosion.
“The normal vehicular movement has been restored back on the road”.
