Significant resources were deployed this Friday in the north of Haute-Vienne. A truck carrying fuel went into the ditch. In the accident, the tank was gutted. It took the intervention of around twenty firefighters, from Mézières, Bellac, Limoges as well as those from Vienne, but also the anti-pollution unit and the chemical risk prevention unit to limit soil pollution by the diesel and gasoline spilling from this trailer damaged by the impact.

From dams have been built to limit this pollution of soils and waterways and retention tarps were installed before transferring the many liters of fuel still in the trailer, say the firefighters of Haute-Vienne.
The truck driver is unharmed.
