Oil Tanker Overturns in Nan, Spilling Thousands of Litres onto Road

A 40,000-litre oil tanker overturned on a curve in Nan province, spilling around 5,000 litres of fuel onto the road. The accident happened on April 27 along the Thung Chang to Chaloem Phra Kiat route in Thung Chang district. Officials said the tanker was transporting fuel to Laos when the driver lost control while navigating a bend. Local agencies closed off the area while highway workers used absorbent powder to contain the spill and clean the road surface. Traffic later resumed after authorities brought the leak under control and reduced the risk of further accidents.
