Near Tomsk due to a mass accident overturned fuel tanker – two were injured

The incident occurred at about 18:40 on the 40th kilometer of the road Melnikovo — Kozhevnikovo — Izovka. Four cars could not disperse at once: Volvo and Freightliner tractors, GAZ-53 truck and Mitsubishi L200 pickup truck. The impact was so strong that the Volvo tractor with a semi-trailer-tank lost control, moved into a ditch and overturned on its side.

At the scene gathered the crews of the traffic police and emergency services. Due to the safety threat and the need to eliminate the consequences of the accident, traffic on the section of the highway was completely blocked, organizing the regulation of flows.

In order not to get stuck in a night traffic jam, drivers had to go into a long detour through neighboring settlements - along the route Zaitsevo, Staraya Yuvala, Tersalgai, Pesochnodubrovka, Mullova, Baturino, Batkat and Melnikovo. Police are now investigating the circumstances and causes of the incident.
