Truck accident spills fuel in St. Louis

A St. Louis truck accident dumped more than 1,600 gallons of diesel fuel across a parking lot Tuesday morning, according to a St. Louis Post Dispatch report.

The accident occurred near East Grand Avenue and Hall Street near the Procter and Gamble Plant. The incident is still being investigated and no indication has been given as to how this spill took place.

Fortunately, nobody was injured or hospitalized in the incident. According to officials quoted in the Post Dispatch, about half of the fuel spilled into the sewer.

The tanker carrying the fuel was operated by the Kiesel Co., which sent workers to assist in the cleanup. The Kiesel Co. generally has a great safety record with no serious tractor trailer crashes over the last couple years.

At The Bradley Law Firm, our team of Missouri truck accident attorneys are experienced in cases involving catastrophic injuries and wrongful death claims as a result of negligent truck drivers and the hiring companies.

This blog is dedicated to prevention of these needless injuries and deaths by educating the public about truck crashes, how they happen, how to avoid them, and exposing the underlying causes of truck accidents and the truck companies who routinely violate the rules.
