Police have blocked off an area on Kyrkogatan in Katrineholm since a cleaning car began to leak natural gas from the fuel tank.

- If you are inside the barriers, you should close the windows, says Caroline Carlheim, internal commander at the rescue service.

The rescue service tries to find out how much fuel is left in the vehicle tank. Personnel from the rescue service have arrived at the truck at 14 o'clock to investigate it.

No forecast

The streets that are closed to traffic are Kyrkogatan between Skolgatan and Bievägen, as well as Gersnäsgatan between Storgatan and Bondegatan, police say. The grocery store Coop, which is located inside the barriers, is also closed.

The leak should have occurred after the vehicle's tank was hit by a rock.
