Hyderabad, January 13: There was a heavy vehicular traffic jam in the busy Tarnaka area here as a chemical tanker overturned there in the early morning.
The chemical tanker from Kakinada was speeding towards the Jeedimetla industrial area. The driver of the tanker reportedly lost control over the vehicle. As a result, the heavy truck hit the road divider and overturned. Due to its impact, the chemical in the truck leaked and spread all over the road.
On receipt of the information, the police rushed to the spot and called the Fire Service and diverted the vehicular traffic. There would have been a big tragedy had the chemical tanker exploded after somersaulting. Providentially, nothing has happened barring exasperating traffic jam.
