Nitric Acid Leak on A5 Motorway Contained, Northbound Lane Closed for Hours
An overnight incident on the A5 motorway saw firefighters, police, and road workers collaborate to contain a nitric acid leak. No injuries were reported, but the northbound lane was closed for several hours.
The leak occurred on a parking lot, with acid collected in barrels initially. However, due to sealing issues, the acid needed to be transferred to another trailer. This process required the complete closure of the northbound lane between approximately 02:30 and 06:15. Throughout the night, emergency services worked tirelessly to mitigate the danger.
The southbound lane was reopened around 09:30 the following morning, once all the collected acid had been removed. The company involved in the removal of the nitrate salt has not been identified in available search results. The affected parking lot remains closed for further inspection of any residual contamination. The financial cost of the operation is expected to be significant.
The nitric acid leak on the A5 motorway was successfully contained and cleared, with no reported injuries. However, the northbound lane closure caused disruption, and the financial cost of the operation is expected to be high. Further inspection of the affected area is ongoing.
