At 7 o'clock in the morning of September 9, a car accident occurred on the Fengjiang-Guangtai section of G1501 Chaohui Expressway (K1201+750 in the direction of Chaozhou). A tanker carrying 30 cubic meters of phenol was transported by a tanker carrying 56 cubic meters of LNG. Two drivers were slightly injured when the tanker truck in China rear-ended, and they have been sent to the hospital.
It is understood that the accident caused a rupture of the phenol tanker's tail and the LNG tanker's pipe, and the LNG tanker partially leaked. Two drivers were trapped in the car. The situation was urgent.
As LNG tankers continue to leak, LNG is flammable and explosive, and must be properly disposed of immediately. The firefighters used water guns to cool the tanker, and put on gas masks, and rescued the drivers. They used hydraulic rescue tool sets to demolish and support expansion. The two drivers were successfully rescued and handed over to medical staff. For treatment, the driver is currently in no danger to his life.
In order to avoid the occurrence of secondary accidents and avoid the harm caused by the leakage of toxic gas, the traffic police at the scene have closed the two-way traffic, and the fire fighting, ambulance, road administration and rescue are on the spot. Affected by this, Jieyang City requested the evacuation of villagers and personnel within 3 kilometers of the accident site and the school was suspended for half a day.
After intense rescue, firefighters used wooden plugging tools to successfully plug the leaks of the tank truck. Up to now, the remaining gas of the leaked liquefied gas tanker is being dumped and transferred. The accident caused traffic congestion on many traffic arteries and long queues of vehicles.
At 7:40, the traffic police implemented traffic control, and diverted in the direction of Huizhou to Jiepuhui Expressway, and diverted vehicles in the direction of Chaozhou to Fengjiang Station. The entrance of Fengjiang Station was closed to the direction of Chaozhou, and diverted to Jiepuhui Expressway in the direction of Huizhou. , The current vehicle congestion has been alleviated!
According to the analysis of on-site investigation and monitoring, all the phenol solvents in the phenol tanker have leaked, and they are discharged to Chigang Town, Puning City, and some villages in Mianhu Town, Jiexi County through the farmland ditches beside the highway. Because phenol is a dangerous chemical, it has a relatively high It is highly corrosive. The 2 villages of Changning and Puxia in Chigang Town of Puning City and the 6 villages of Gongshan, Liyugou, Gongdong, Xinbei, Yushi and Shangpu in Mianhu Town of Jiexi County have suspended the use of groundwater. All villagers use tap water, and surrounding villagers are not allowed to fish in polluted water bodies or take water for animal drinking.
