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...
