At 2:13 pm on the 5th, 103 containers for liquids were dropped from the 1t tower car that was running on National Highway No. 18 in Gunnae-gun, Jindo-gun, Jeonnam.

Three of these barrels were damaged and 40 liters of hydrochloric acid were leaked onto the road.

Fire officials say the material did not flow down rivers or roads, and safety measures were applied by spraying neutralizers.

The top car was loaded with 180 storage bins with 20 liters, and it was confirmed that the rear door was unlocked while driving.

Police will investigate the leaked substance and investigate the alleged violation of the Chemicals Control Act based on a driver's statement that "an accident occurred while carrying and transporting hydrochloric acid."
