Video: Crews clean up oil damage on Hume Highway
(ABC News)
The Hume freeway remains partially closed north of Melbourne after a petrol tanker crashed on Wednesday night spilling thousands of litres of fuel.
The tanker was carrying 53,000 litres of diesel and petrol when it hit a car in the emergency lane, jack-knifed and rolled between Wallan and Broadford .
The truck driver suffered a head wound. There was no-one was in the parked car.
Salvage crews prevented the fuel from igniting or running into drains.
Country Fire Authority (CFA) operations officer, John Smith, says crews used foam and sand to try to stop the diesel and petrol from igniting or running into drains
“If there had have been a spark the tanker could have caught fire or the product could have caught fire and yes out of that it could have been a rather worse consequence,” he said.
The Environment Protection Authority (EPA) says some 9,000 litres of fuel, foam and water have since been removed from the roadside and drains were protected after they were plugged with sand.
The spillage damaged the asphalt on the Hume’s northbound road surface. It will be resurfaced overnight.
Northbound traffic is being diverted through Kilmore. Southbound lanes have re-opened.
