Overturned gasoline truck closes highway

Col. Mansour Al-Johani, official spokesman for the Madinah Civil Defense, said the tanker was carrying gasoline and that teams of Civil Defense from the village of Al-Musaijeed were sent to attend the truck. He added that the highway was completely closed.
The gasoline leaked 200 meters from the tank and firefighters worked hard to control the fire before it spread. No one was killed in the accident; the driver escaped with minor injuries.
According to Al-Johani, the truck was moving at high speed when it hit a concrete barrier and overturned.
