The
accident which occurred around 6:15 this morning around St. Johns Bus
stop, was caused by a Conoil tanker carrying diesel. According to eye
witnesses, the tanker was coming down the hill from Garrison when its
content suddenly started gushing out, filling up the road, causing it
to be slippery. The tanker was on the speed-lane, thus incoming cars on
high speed lost control and their brakes failed, as the road was said
to be very slippery.
Members of the TIMA RIV and the Rivers state fire service took control
of the situation as soon as it happened. About 8 vehicles were involved
in the accident. Injured motorists were rushed to the hospital, but no
death was reported. More photos when you continue...posted by oluwaseun lekan
