A tank truck transporting gas got stuck in the gap between two bridges in Brazil on Tuesday morning (11). The driver lost control and veered off the road, becoming suspended in the middle of the highway.
The incident occurred at 1 a.m., according to the Road Command of the Military Brigade (CRBM). The driver was rescued without serious injuries.
The highway remained blocked for over ten hours until rescue teams arrived at the scene.
The Fire Department sprayed water on the vehicle to cool it down while waiting an additional two hours for the arrival of tow trucks that removed the tank truck.
The vehicle was transporting a residual phase of LPG (liquefied petroleum gas or cooking gas), which raised concerns among authorities due to the risk of explosion during the truck’s removal.
