Accident with a truck from Brenntag
On January 13, 2010 on a wet road around 6:30 AM, a truck from BRENNTAG MIDI-PYRENEES (St-SULPICE) loaded with solvents spilled into a ditch between Toulouse and Montauban (in Tarn-et-Garonne).
The truck contained heptane and ethanol, all in metal containers, and 3 drums of D80 (which is a white spirit).
The accident had no consequences in terms of injuries or environmental damages.
Firefighters and police were on the scene of the accident. The traffic has been restored around 2:30 PM, after the transfer of all packages on another truck and towing of the damaged vehicle, under the guidance of the local Operations Director.
Brenntag works in close coordination with the local authorities to find out the causes of the accident.
