Tanker rolls over on Highway 401 and Mavis Rd./OPP
OPP spent most of Sunday cleaning up this spectacular tanker truck rollover on the eastbound express lanes of Highway 401 at Mavis Rd. Sgt. Kerry Schmidt said the double fuel tanker was loaded with diesel and approximately 23,000 litres of fuel spilled onto the highway. The cleanup went on into the afternoon. No injuries have been reported. The double tanker vehicle is often called by media the US a “rolling bomb.” This may or may not be a fair description and in this case there was no fire or explosion. Diesel is less explosive than many other fuels.
