Acid spillage causes road closure
A major accident plan was activated after four 40 gallon barrels fell from the articulated truck onto the main N28 road between Ringaskiddy and Carrigaline in Co Cork at 10.15am.
There were unconfirmed reports last night that the truck, which was coming from The Carbon Group plant in Ringaskiddy, had to swerve and brake suddenly to avoid a car just off the Shannon Park roundabout. It is understood cables designed to hold the barrels in place broke loose.
