Crash: River cut off to contain oil spill
Published on: Friday, July 25, 2025 Published on: Fri, Jul 25, 2025 By: Azmie Lim Text Size: The tanker lorry landed on its side after the accident. LAHAD DATU: A 39-year-old man was injured after his tanker was involved in an accident at Jalan Sabahan along Jalan Lahad Datu-Tawau, here, Thursday. District Fire and Rescue Chief Sumsoa Rashid said his department received a distress call on the incident at 9.03am. A team of Fire and Rescue personnel was deployed to the scene in two fire engines and an EMRS vehicle. 'Upon arrival, the team reported that a tanker loaded with 10,000 litres of petrol was involved in an accident. 'The driver who was conscious and injured was on the road shoulder and given initial treatment before being handed over to the Ministry of Health for further action,' he said. According to Sumsoa, the accident resulted in leaking and spillage of petrol on the tanker. The team carried out zoning at the location, about 100 feet from the tanker, as well as foam spray of the entire tanker. The spilled petrol had flowed towards a nearby pond and the team contacted the tanker's company for further action. The operation was assisted by two heavy machines - a backhoe and an excavator - from the Pan Borneo contractor. The heavy machinery closed the small river to control the spill and stabilised the tanker to avoid continuous petrol spillage. The team handed over the operation to the tanker's company after the situation at the location was under control and called off the operation. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
